I have a set of 996TT wheels that I have had chemically stripped. The original paint was chipped and the lips were mildly road rashed. I have smoothed all the rash and they are now ready for paint. I would like to go back to the original Porsche metalic silver. I went to a body shop a few days ago and was quoted $700 to have them liquid painted! I about crapped in my pants when I heard that quote. They said they had to be acid etched, primered, painted & cleared. Yada yada....I have a quote for $195 to have them powdercoated. The only drawback on powdercoating is when it comes time to repaint...you have to blast or strip them again...and the powdercoatings are more of a bitch to get off than liquid paint and I don't believe it shines as well as liquid paint...unless you clear them. What are your thoughts, experiences and recommendations?
