The clear coat on my wheels have started to fad on the inside and I want to clean them up. I have seen all the videos of plasti coat and it looks good and I can replicate the colours I might want (either dark bronze or gunmetal) pretty easily and I can remove it if I dont like it but I want to see if anyone has experience with it. People have suggested to powder coat them but thats about 300-400 nzd (250-350 usd roughly). I have also heard peoples stories about powder coated wheels getting weaker in the baking process. Has anyone done either and could offer their experience with either or even suggest a better option.

If you want to stay with a color, powder coat them once and be done. If you want to test the looks, then you should plasti dip until you find a color you like and then powder coat. I've never heard of a rim weakening due to the powder coating process, they don't heat the wheels enough to change the molecules of the alloy.
