The clear coat on my wheels have started to fad on the inside and I want to clean them up. I have seen all the videos of plasti coat and it looks good and I can replicate the colours I might want (either dark bronze or gunmetal) pretty easily and I can remove it if I dont like it but I want to see if anyone has experience with it. People have suggested to powder coat them but thats about 300-400 nzd (250-350 usd roughly). I have also heard peoples stories about powder coated wheels getting weaker in the baking process. Has anyone done either and could offer their experience with either or even suggest a better option.

If they're your only options then use the Powder Coat.
Plasti-Dip, as stated, is not permanent, and is for finding out what colour you like. I have only ever seen a few cars with dipped wheels that looked good (Timmyface). If you cannot choose and keep a colour however, powder coating is not your best option. --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
