Default Powder Coating Rims

Anyone ever have their truck rims powder coated? I like the style rims I already have, I just want them black. Anys pointers, pros, or cons to doing this? Is having them painted a better option?

Call Rimidies in Lafayette. They do a lot of that stuff and, at a fair rate. I use them frequently for wheel repair.

That's pretty slick. My truck is silver and I'd like to black out my emblems to match my need bars and tool box. I figured plasti dip was the easiest way by watching a few YouTube videos.
