My black wheels are now on, however, I have a question...How often do you get your black wheels re-powdercoated??? I do all rocky, mountain trails and KNOW that this stuff is going to flake off (at least think). Let me know how it holds up, and also what you think of the look.

BTW, this is just a temp. 4 wheeler untill I build the XC yfz450. However, I also plan on powdercoating the frame black, swing arm yellow, and the a-arms will all be houser +2's and powdercoated black, along with fox floats. The hubs will also be painted either a mixture of yellow and black, or black (yellow rear hubs, front black hubs, not sure).

Also, the tires are ITP GNCC's in the front, and ITP Holeshot HD's in the rear.

I can live with a couple scratches, I completely expect that. I was worried that it could start literally just flaking off after the scratches come though, hopefully that's not the case. Anyway, I changed the oil and adjusted the valves today, and took a couple day time pictures.

You have to remember that powdercoat is a ton stronger than paint so you shouldnt notice that much wear maybe a couple scratches but it shouldnt flake.
