and here's my 20's. the stocks I painted first and they do start to chip even from daily use due to road debris. but my 20's are powdercoated and I am really happy with them..

if you are going for temporary and dont mind dings here and there, go with the paint. and do it yourself! it is easy! just time consuming. but powercoating it takes a experienced person to do it with the right tools so it'll cost you a ton more. but i realized that when you do it right, yourself. people go "woah, you did it yourself, looks great" and i'm like hell yeah...
thank you for your input!

I would love to, but saving every penny for a house right now, i just thought it would be nice to spend a couple hundred and make the rims i have look a little nicer. The light grey really does blow...
eventually, maybe a year or two, i would like to drop it a little, space out the rears a little and throw some nice 18's on it...but for right now, i gotta get rid of this grey!

thanks everyone for your replies, I think im going to give it a shot and powder coat a flat black, or a dark glossy granite grey, depending on what they recommend works better. Ill post some pics as soon as its complete.
