I beed blasted my 2K wheels. Had them powder coated for $45 a wheel. Powder coating will last a lot longer than spray cans. Mine has lasted over 4 years and still look pretty good!

I had my Z06 20/19 wheels painted white, the same time the car was painted. It's great. I initially thought it wouldn't work. I will be getting mines powder coated next year, if I keep the rims.
