Powder coat is paint. Think of it this way...paint you are thinking of in a can is just a pigment suspended in a liquid solution. Powder coat is utilizing only the pigment in pure powder form and making it stick through electrostatic charge.
Powdercoat is more resilient because it adheres to the aluminum better (One of the processes in powdercoating is a chemical bath which etches the surface of the aluminum). It still scratches though.

in that case why does painting it cost more, and why would one want to choose paint over powdercoat

he doesnt specialize in wheels (no powder coating shops do) but hes done them in the past.
i'm not saying hes the best when it comes to wheels or anything at all because i havent seen his work other than when he does railings and industrial jobs.
also he doesnt sand blast wheels, you'll have to do it yourself elsewhere.
i'd probably recommend a shop more experienced with coating wheels instead such as rainbow.

just a heads up to anyone who is considering powder coating.
the oven will melt any plastics on your wheels.
my dad had some brown kids come and he warned them to make sure they remove any plastics, and they thought their rivets were metal.
they were plastic and melted obviously and it was their own dumb fault.

Hmm, do they charge by wheel or size or what?
Would love to do that to my 22incher 2 piece wheels.....
Or you guys think I should paint it?
Got some nasty salt corrosion...want to cover it with powercoat or paint.

thanks for the comments, if you end up deciding on rainbow. I'll advise you give him as much time as possible and like one of the members here mentioned, maybe slip him $50. I'm finding more flaws with the finish, I hope it'll last more than a season haha..

Only reason I stayed away from PCing is it's known to weaken the rigidity of the wheels. Again, if it's just street-driven and not being tracked often, it shouldn't be an issue.

only drawback is that it is SLIGHTLY less glossy.
