spraying vs powder coating?

[seb]

looking at wheels.

what is the difference like? durability? finish etc?

can someone basically explain the whole two processes for me in idiot terms?

Gotta love that internet.

spraying isn't as "strong" imo

you know about spraying, so i won't bore you

powdercoat is the same, just the paint is powder (ie no solvents) heat melts the powder to the wheel

paint can be effected by the heat, powdercoat isn't

You thinking about doing your wheels yourself, Seb?

flol, don't think so... i need a car to drive to work and i don't think i'd do it in an evening. plus i want a proper job. ie tyres off etc.

still mulling it over tbh. (secretly still want black... but am warming to anthracite...)
