Powder-coating second attempt

Ok, so that didn't work out so good.

I picked up the wheels yesterday from the duckman and took them to McDonough Tire on Racetrack to mount the tires. When i went to pick them up they looked awesome! The rear tires especially look so different mounted - from tall and skinny to wide and fat.

But, the rims had been scratched to hell by the tire machine.

Was that the installer's fault or the powder-coating? Hard to say, but the next thing I noticed made it a moot point. On both back wheels there was an area by the center that wasn't powder-coated at all!

So, this morning I got up early and ran the tires back to the shop to have them removed, then took the wheels back the the duckman. Hopefully it'll all be good this time.
