+1 to that...

I've done 2 years of powdercoating at Capral Aluminium back in my uni days and the metal has to go thru 200-250C oven (round 10 min in there) therefore check what ur rims are made out of...what kinda alloy before you do it.

In terms of quality powdercoating is a heaps better than painting, lot more resistant to sun etc.
