looks sick i see this thread is a few months old i was think about black powder coated with a little while back but my powder coater said that the brake dust will scratch the clear on them and against black it shows real bad. Have you had any problems?

Sounds like he might not know alot about different powders out there.
When doing deep black on wheels, I always use a super durable wet black. Has 3 times more pencil hardness compared to normal powder, along with alot more UV resistance as well.
Or, if not doing black and you want that level of resistance, I lay a super durable clear over everything instead..same concept.
He is correct though that if a normal high gloss powder is used, and you were to constantly be wiping contaminents off the wheels without using any lubrication(soap, water, glass cleaner, etc,etc) you would start to scuff up the gloss finish. Just gotta know the right powder for the application, and also explain proper care and maintenance to the customer as well.
