Are you kidding me? Do real powder coat yourself? Do you have any idea how to eeven bake/heat/coat/cure it, let alone what you need for real powdercoat..

you have to cook the paint on and that can make the rim brittle and thats why rims are painted. I looked in to it and its not a good idea over all.

Whats wrong with DIY powdercoating? Definitely doable and would be much cheaper if you plan to powdercoat a bunch of stuff.

If you want your rim to fall off powder coat it. If you like to live and want to see tomorrow paint it.
