I love how the wheels turned out. The tails have a shade on em but arent blacked out by no means.

5 coats. If you do it, spray a liberal amount on the tires so that it can be peeled off easily

Only out. Used like 6 cans. Kept having to rotate the spray tips as some tips clogged up repeatedly.

I know pc'ing is the "professional" way to go, but these are stock and i can peel the paint off easily.

From what I understand, powder coat is most durable, however color matching while improved immensely can still be a bit difficult and expensive. I had genie AMG's that I removed the factory finish(powder coat I believe as aircraft paint stripper hardly did anything) and then had my centers painted an Acura color after I had the lips polished and they held up great! However they had a "dish" to protect them in a sense.
