I have a set of 18'' 5 spoke chrome wheels that came with the car. Really don't like chrome was wondering is it possible to powercoat silver or gunmetal?

I already posted them for sale but was thinking of keeping them if i can paint them. So you saying if I powercoat the wheels paint won't stay on? BTW they are my winter wheels so don't care too much.

when I said safe, I didn't mean the paint staying on, I meant the wheels bending easier. the stock chrome wheels are rare and a lot of them have bent or broke on impact. heating them up via powdercoating will only further make this a possibility.
get a different set if you can.

chrome is a metal and has to be removed before anything, painting, coating etc.. youl spend hundred upon hundreds doing this if it were done right and have a marginal end product.. run away from this idea quickly. save yourself the endless hassle. or wrap em in 182 series 3m vinyl. much easier and less lame..but not by much.
just trying to save you headache!
