Default Powdercoat VS. Paint/Chrome,... Post Pics!

Hey guys, Im undecided about going with either powdercoat or paint on my wheels. I have 5 spoke chrome Intro's I want to turn black. Please post pics if you have rims that have been pwdrcoated or painted and even chromed black. Please note how long ago you got them done, wanna see what lasts longer(durability while maintainng freshly done look). Thnx, looking forward to seeing some nice wheels.
