Doing great so far! Got a few nicks from mounting the tires and installing them on the truck. Can't notice much, if any road damage. Other than losing a center cap wheels are holding up. Does anyone know if you have to have 3 piece rims to powdercoat the center and lips different colors?

they should just have to tape off when the spray them

Not trying to call you out, but that doesn't make sense. Yes the powder is sprayed electrostatically, but once you spray one portion how are you supposed to tape off the next section to spray the other color? The only way I can see it being possible it to do it in 2 stages which means being baked twice. It seems as though that would substantially raise cost. I've never seen 1 piece wheels powdercoated two different colors.
