    He could get them powder coated for around $30-40.... a good can of spray paint is $5 , it would take probaly 4 cans , thats around $20 .... why not spend a few more bucks and get them done right?

    Painting them is a good inexpensive way to do it and like mentioned you can do them over in a year if needed for another $12

    he would have to pay for them to be dismounted, blasted, powdercoated, and remounted and balanced if he was going to powder coat them "right"....or does that have to happen?

    I only needed 1 can to do my 4 rims, and it's super easy to touch up any chips or scratches
