IMHO I would definetly powdercoat it is a way better coating but there is a catch i have built alot of quads with powder coated frames at it is a art form not anyone can powder coat i have seen jobs you could scrape with your finger nail and jobs you can hit with a hammer and i was told it has to do with the quality of the ovens and the bake time and temps

Thanks Brett. I have to say though, that I really love NRiver's truck with the black wheels. Jared's truck is awesome too. I think in both cases those Mud Terrains really help set it off, and I may switch to them when these BFG ATs wear out on mine.

This place has grown so much, I can't start to read every thread anymore. 
I wonder what caused you to have so many problems with your powdercoat. Mine hasn't had a problem at all. I just have to be careful when I remove the center caps to not scratch it. Otherwise they look as good today as the day I picked them up. Mine were sandblasted ($20 per wheel) and Powdercoated ($25 per wheel) at a local shop here.

The quality of the finished product is very dependant on the prep (blast is better than chemical etched and the extent of either), powder used, and oven temps and time. A few extra minutes in the oven can cause a great start to end poorly with a very brittle product. Done right...it should be tough. A urethane clearcoat can be used as even another step of protection.
