see painting will be for free cos my uncle is a auto painter but he doesnt do powder coating

ive been told that powder coating is a much better option though!

the range of colours is more if you choose the painting path whereas powdercoating them will limit your choice of colours but u'll have increased durability of ur wheels.

check out this post i made last year if ur interested in the process
