Spraying them never lasts ,,,,powder coat is the way to go ,,,I get them done for £200 a set with stripping them which I'm told is a good price,,,,£100 if they don't need stripping for the full set of 4 aswell

Interesting what you say as when I had my BMW wheels done, the powdercoater sand blasted the wheels, powdercoated them and then sprayed them.

When watching Wheeler Dealers, they all seem to do the same i.e. strip, powdercoat and then spray. Not sure why...

Not sure either,, stones and ice when we have it would chip the paint but not the powder coat half as much and why pay for two finishes,,,,as powder coat is a finish ie end of the process ?,,,powder coat isn't a undercoat ?
