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.

I plasti dipped my wheels on my mustang about 6 months ago and they still look as good as the day I sprayed. I would stay away from paint or powder coat for now. Plasti dip is easy to remove and it comes off all in one piece (if you spray it on correctly) and doesn't flake off like some people may think. only go for paint/powder coat if you are sure about the color. Like you said, powder coats expensive. While dip would cost 30 for the whole job (1 can per wheel) it only takes a couple hours and you can be back on the road hours after finishing.. - my 2 cents
