I think I read somewhere that powder coating certain rims can make them weak and prone to cracking due to the extreme heat they have to use in the painting process. If you google it, there are a lot of cases to back that up. Whether it would affect the fazer rims I don't know but to be safe I would do it the way mickvp suggests. I plan to do mine at some point soon, I cheated on my old Suzuki rims and just sprayed them and lacquered and it was pretty decent but got some stone chips fairly quickly. I think sanding and priming would give a much better and more durable finish.
