powercoating worth it
like title says. . i currently running black zo6's and want the stockers for some drag radials. i have my stockers and am wanting to either paint or power coat them black. could i get simmilar or better results than powercoating with good prep work?
there's a place in town that will do each for 75.00

if you are just going to be using the wheels for drag wheels and are not going to be running them all the time, i would just paint them. much, much cheaper. if you do some good prep work and take you time applying the paint and clear they will look very nice. wont last as long as powdercoat but if you dont use them all that often they will last quite a while.
