AES powder coating did my wing and they get brand new colors all the time to keep up with car colors.
the wheels would match your paint with np
i think they charge around 75 a wheel if they are sandblasted and rdy to go.
powder coating is alot better then painting (in the long run)

oxidation you would change your tune.
Maybe powdercoat on something that sits in a garage, but I have seen
how powdercoat survives in a harsh situation, and its not pretty
and certainly no more durable then paint.
Maybe more durable then some spray can paint, but not properly applied
and cured epoxies and polyurethanes.

if you could see the powdercoated boat parts I have to fix because of the
oxidation you would change your tune.

maybe the powder coating was done shitty, shitty alluminum, or poor quality of powder.
who knows, but it is still some type of paint right. so y would you be suprized if it ***** up like regular paint?

Powerdercoat is a resin, same as an epoxy.

powdercoat is a powder, not a resin, it gets sprayed on, but
its dry, electicity is involved and then its baked. Not sure
of the exact details, but its not a resin.
The powdercoating I come across isnt done by one person, or
even by one company, they come from different companies
in different states. And yes, I have seen painted parts
last much longer then powdercoated parts.
Im talking in a marine enviorment, which is a harsh
one, in a household garage neither paint nor powdercoat
is superior. Personally I would rather have something that can
be easily repaired if need be.
When powdercoating goes it comes off in sheets, its also
very hard to sandblast again to redo.
