|  Anodize, paint, or powder coat wheels?
I have a set of silver aluminum wheels, I would like them red.  What are my options for the most durable finish to change the color? |

Hard anodize is tough and will look the best. Powdercoat is also durable, but it doesn't look as good on wheels IMO.

Unless you got a buddy that does anodizing or powder coating or find a shop that can throw your wheels in with another order, you may find the cost of the finishing approaching the cost of a new set of red wheels.

Most durable, Anodized. Easiest, painted, and most economical, paint. Not that hard really. Wheels usually don;t take too much brunt (except say the beadlock ring). I painted beadlock rings and they only have a few small chips. They actually held up quite well. Just make sure you use some etch primer before the base coat. They do have 2 part clear coat that is impact resistant too. Most likely though unless you have HVLP spray guns you would use something like the SPraymax clears (2 part in a can).
