Default Paint is retouchable --- Powdercoat is more durable

Here are my wheels on my 2003 Discovery II. They were black matte powder coated. Also I painted the Land Rover wheel centers black to match. I originally had LR 18" Monsoon wheels and then bought 4 16" Typhoon wheels.
I had them powder coated for $280 and finally found a 5th rim for a full size spare.

I custom made Black Lug Covers to slip over the lugs. They are easily removed by hand using 2 paint can openers. Here a link to full set I'm selling on eBay. 25 covers for 4 wheels 3 for the spare tire. Also locking lug covers are available. I just saw a niche need and thougt I would be creative. They are Plasti Dip black but seem to hold up fine for last 6 months.
