Painting Wheels
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.

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
