Yeah I personally have heard estimates for way more that $300 for powder coating. I think some very clean before and after shots would really help you draw people to this service tho

i know what u mean with the lips, white paint looks good but it doesnt hold together with any impact, i would suggest a differnt color, i used graphite on my 08 bbs and the lips were good, even with new tires being mounted on them.

Use the right size tire! or at least a smaller rim
