Just got my car back from the bodyshop, someone backed into me plus I painted my interior trim to match exterior… A little bright but in person looks SICK… Might go with silver next time though lol, hate wood. ANYWAYY, was supposed to paint the lip on my rims red, but the guy said he didnt want to do them becuase 1 - paint wouldnt stick? which doesnt make sense and 2 - he said they’d last a week without getting chipped… Anyone have any input on this? I DEF wanna paint my rims otherwise get new ones because all black looks like shit, looks like im rolling on steelies from a distance lol 0:34 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3L1gbfga1o](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3L1gbfga1o) ---

Yes they will chip? What if I powdercoated the lip? Is that even possible and is it expensive? Know any good people with fast turn around time? ---

Painting will chip. You could always sell those wheels and buy mine. You already know they look good on a red bmw. ---

powercoat them … paint does chip no matter how well you prep them with wheels. Just constant washing and all the elements will cause them to. ---
