Hi guys I have a set of Work emotion Xt7 wheels .. but those wheels had some scratches and 2 of them the color is chip ~Ill post some pics Asap ~
I heard ppl said that powder coating exposes the wheels to temperatures they were not designed to handle and can cause weaknesses.
So im not sure of it I need help please, cuz I dunno if I should powder them or paint them now >.<

My rims had been grinded against curbs etc and I was ready to buy new ones because mine were so badly damaged but then I tried duplicolor wheel coating for fun and it work out pretty well.
First I sanded/filed down all the nicks/scratches then put a coat of primer on the rim then I put 3 coats of the duplicolor rim coating on it and it came out looking like new. Not too sure of durability but its seems pretty thick and solid.
