spray paint= half *** job
powdercoat= correct, safe, long lasting way
if you paint them you will start to notice the paint chipping in areas after awhile and the wheels look cheap. It should only cost about 400 bucks to get your wheels powdercoated too. idk about you guys but spray cans are not my friend

i didn't even know there was a incorrect way and correct way to paint wheels lol i could understand if your going to keep your wheels forever and want them to last you a long time, if you take your time on the spray cans they should last you a while

ya noticed he did but most don't. Powder coating is just easier I think too lol. I guess if you are on a budget painting them would be ok as long as you prep and use good paint. There is a store near me "the paint store" off camino capistrano that has really good paint and all the equpiment you need it is for automotive use only.

wow really low prices for powder coating. well my last wheels were pc green. It was on my bike so don't say **** about the green wheels they look sick. The pc itself was expensive due to being special ordered. black would be cheaper. My guy makes sure they are clean and straight before he does it. Also comes with lifetime warranty on the pc.
