[FC] Painting or Powdercoating Wheels

[Ben Stiles]

I have heard horror stories about powdercoating wheels (too thick, chipping,
etc...)

My wheels are brush painted in a color match paint I had done at the local
hardware store.  True Value paint match computers can do wonders.  I also
painted the door jams with a brush.  Looks fine for my needs.
