Might look good! If I were you, I'd start calling around to your local wheel shops.

Powder coating is more durable than paint - it's a thicker formula with an epoxy-like resin in it. I think. :D

Check this

power coating requires the part to be baked for the paint to be set. Therefore, really large parts require a large oven.
