Not to hijack, but I keep hearing about powdercoating and 2 things come to my mind since I'm not all that familiar with it

1) Since these caps "pop" on to secure themselves to the rims, won't the powdercoating chip off when you need to pop the caps on and off to remove wheels??

2) Even if you p.c., won't you still have to paint the details to make it look stock ie, colored bowtie, and black cog appearance??
