Anyone? Have you thought of using powder coat instead of paint?

Re: anyone try and paint these?

On my 04 2500Hd they were pealing so this summer I had them soda blasted and then recleared. Cost me $50 a wheel at a local body shop.

I looked into powdercoating and was told that powdercoating does not like to stick to the aluminum on a truck that is being used daily and in mud and gravel.
