powder coating is a dry powder that is electrostaticly charged and sticks like a magnet. then is baked on. this forms a type of skin. this is more durable because it can be much thicker and be much more consistant
paint is a liquid that needs to be sprayed on. will be less consistant and is weaker.

Powdercoat wont bond to metal like a primer that will etch into the surface. If you chip the powdercoat (not that hard to do) moisture can work its way under the powdercoat and weaken the bond to the wheel.
