im doing me own...I aint got the means to do powdercoating but auto paint suppliers will pre mix two pack in a rattle can...you obviously got to be prepped and ready to straight away coz its curing from the moment its mixed. The good thing with wheels is you know exactly whats got to be painted so you can mask up yourself, then put the whhels on a round bar to act like a long spindle between two trestles then spin the buggers as you spray, getting a nice even coat. last tim I didn't even bother to take the tyres off, just popped them back off the bead and masked in between the rubber and the wheel. its not as good as powdercoating, but im totally had it with people you pay good money for a good job then they dont do it. What finished it for me was having a pair powdercoated green for my zx9rb1, then because they hadnt done whatecer they should have done to prep for powdercoating, the paint 'shelled' when I was changing tyres, despite having plastic bead protectors between te levers and the rim. if you paint it yourself in two pack (or even cellulose) its easy enogh to repair the odd patch if you need to. just all imho obviously, and im a brickie so what the foc do I know …
