wheel finish question
Not to beat a dead horse, but how does powder coat compare to paint when you say drop a lug nug on your wheel. Like I did last night on my nice painted wheel. Yep theres a new chip.

Powder coat is much stronger. Mine survived dropping a lug wrench (but I am sure part of it was luck). Ask your powder coater is he has some samples you can try.

Re: wheel finish question
Know too that not all powder coat operators work the same. Educate yourself. Recently I tried a different business other than my usual source. It was a vintage infant car seat. Mostly metal frame work. The owner quoted $45 for all the pieces. I then asked him if that price include the primer coat. His response: Oh you want primer too. OK that will be $65 plus tax. Although powder coating is a wonderful technique you gotta ask a lot of questions.

Paint you can touch up, and is easily removed and resprayed if you absolutely have to.
