Powder Coating?

I doubt that any paint would really stay on . . . but I could be wrong.

Powder Coating?

That's my opinion as well. Anything else will get trashed in no time. YZ165

You need an epoxy based paint. Check at your local finish master or auto paint place. They should have it in spray cans. Tough and durable paint ask for "Epoxy based black spray paint" Prob $15 for a can.......it works great, is heat and chemical resistant too. Takes about 5 days to fully harden.

Powder coat, epoxy paint, or heavy machinery paint. They will all work, but the PC will work the best.

My rims are still in pretty decent shape, but I actually take a black permanent magic marker or laundry marking pen and literally color the scratches. It actually lasts quite awhile. From a short distance is not even noticeable. Silly, I know, but it does help.
