Aug 24, 2017 at 17:03 comment added Deleted User Yes. True. I have two other sets I sent out to be coated. I recommend having a conversation with a painter or powdercoater first. My paint guy rode (a lot) so he understood what things were important when painting a rim and everything was awesome. My powder coated rims were different. Work done at two different shops. Both very durable and still look great. One however, was absolutely thicked on. Unnecessary weight add.

It would likely be a much nicer looking, and definitely a more durable finish.
