That is so backwards! The body shop I use for all of my work sends me wheels to powdercoat for them because its so much more durable. If they don't properly cure it, it won't hold up, but properly cured, powdercoat is much much more durable than paint any day.

I can powdercoat a piece of aluminum foil and then bend it in half and undo it it all day long and it won't crack.

and as for powdercoat not being glossy, that is wrong too. This is powdercoat, and its glossy:

btw, I'm not looking for wheel work, I keep busy enough with calipers, just trying to correct some misconceptions.
