Painting Wheels
I just bought a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI, I of course got it in blue but also wanted the factory gold wheels to give it that Subaru trademark blue/gold look, only problem is my dealer doesn't have any STI's with gold wheels to swap so I ended up with the silver wheels.
I'm thinking about having them powdercoated them unless there is a better method. Should I get them powdercoated or another type of painting method? How much do you think something like this will cost?
What would you guys recommend?
Thanks

What type of paint is the most durable? Something that won't chip or be a total pain to keep clean?

I just found this, BBS Wheel Paint. It looks pretty promising: http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?fo...action=product
Does anyone here have any experience with it? How difficult is it to do?
I have a tough time evenly painting a small R/C car body, I can't imagine how i'd paint 4 full size wheels.
