As an aside, I want my stock wheels to be black instead of the silverish color they are now...

Better to powdercoat or paint?

Thanks

Plasti Dip. Cheap, available at Home Depot, easy to put on (don't even have to mask off tires), and easily removable if you decide you don't want it later.

Interesting!

Is it susceptible to road damage (rocks hitting it, etc) more so than paint?

I guess I could get some and test it.

Thanks!

I haven't used plasti dip myself but from what I hear and from what my buddies say about it, for the price it is pretty good. looks good, easy to use, holds well and when it starts to go they just take a few minutes to redo it. My friend did his rims and they held up well. But remember, I'm saying that it is great for the price. Just don't expect it to last forever

Im worried about the tan not matching perfectly and looking bad (and expensive) and I saw a black on tan and red chevy today and it didnt look as bad as I would have thought. Anyone have any pictures of red/tan excursions with a black front replacement bumper?
