| Condition of Black Rims
So far on all the cars I've owned, I've only ever ran silver rims (boring I know). But a few months ago I decided to have my rims powder coated black. I realize now that I may be a bit too anal for black rims.
It's been about 4 months now, and I've noticed a few issues:
1. rock chip on one of the rims
2. hairline scratch on one of the rims
3. apparently the powder coater couldn't get the decals that were on the inside of the barrel off; so he powder coated over them. Now they've peeled/are peeling off leaving rectangles that aren't powder coated
I'm assuming 1 & 2 are common. Any one out here with the same issues? Do you just live with it?
With 3 however, I'm wondering if I'm getting my chain pulled here? I contacted the powder coater, and he assured me that the areas where the decals have come off now (aka. not powder coated areas) won't affect the powder coat on the surrounding areas. If this is true, while I'm a bit ticked to find out now that the decals were left on, I don't mind it too much, as brake dust fills up the inside barrel pretty quick anyways. Hopefully I'm not being played.

, I never got rock chips or scratches that were bad enough to bother me though
