I take it this is stronger and more resistant than paint?

I want some wheels done. I know the price will vary but whos had it done and what did you pay?

It's more resistant, but is less pretty normally as it is really an industrial coating designed to be a cheap as possible.

Normal price is about £30 per wheel blasted and coated.

Picking up a set that have been done in black tomorrow for £140...
