> This is truth. Powdertech will charge you about 150+$ a wheel. 4 barrels just got done by them and the bill was $500 and change. it was also a crazy color powder they had to order. took a month to get them back. It sure would suck to chip them or curb them and need a repair/respray to have to pay that again and wait for ever. File, basecoat blended and cleared again, days work.

Don’t use me as an example lol. I still.say.powder is a lot stronger, but that’s me just justifying my purchase,
