I have a set of Mag wheels which are in great nick, but are just the wrong colour.
I don't want to powder-coat them as the shot-blasting process is a bit aggressive and there are protective coatings on the metal that I
don't want to remove.
Thought I'd put them into my local spray-painter instead for a light rub and re-coat. Has anyone else done this and if so, how long can I expect
them to last in comparison to powder-coat?
I had a set painted in standard carpaint a few years ago.
It is still as new.
And it was quite cheap.

we paint rally car wheels with two pack car paint gravel quickly knocks it off but it lasts longer than standard paint finish wheels come with.on a road car it should last for ages.m.
Never used it myself, but I hear the Wurth products are excellent.
I've a set of Wolfrace Voodoo's thet need a refurb and was goin gto give it a go with the paint, then lacquer.
Found some on the 'bay here:

bloke we know did his jeep Wellers with 2 pack and they are as new 2 years down the line, I don't think his cars sees to much mud so would be comparable with a road going car
