Even on an off-road wheel.

I absolutely agree with your point.
Sigh, here is Seattle powder coating is $120 per wheel. This is not something I cannot afford, I just feel it is unnecessary...
DIY powder coating will require: wheels assembling/disassembling, sanding, priming, coating, clear coating, lot of hassle, I just don't have time for this...
For DIY plastidip I need only plastidiping and nothing else.
Another point - correct, plasti dip is temporary, I'll have it for 2-3 years and after that just swap the wheels to OEM or any other - and that will refresh look of the 4R
