Mhh i DO have the balls to do it myself, problem is i have no friggin clue what powder coating exactly is.... im kinda looking forward for it cuz of things ive heard... its is posible to do it myself i can always get a set of those hubcap rims and practice the hell out of them before going for the real deal.... and yeah, i do a lot of pointless swearing

you cant do powder coating yourself. Cuz there is a special process with that which involves heating the paint. However you can "paint" the rims and if you do a good job and take your time they can come out good. You just use spray paint and clear coat to give them a glossy look. and protect them. but its not all that difficult to do yourself.

Yeah i know, ive thought about it, in fact the clear coating at the last end makes paint look better, does it come matte though? cuz i wouldnt like any glossy rims, these ones arent and i really liked the color but theyre ****ing scratched as hell

well if your looking into powder coating that isnt gonna be matte at all. That will be even more glossy and shiny than the regular paint. My buddy painted his rims, ill try and get some before and after pics for you.
