Prep is the key to make both paint and powder stick. Powder likes a sand blasted surface. Powder does not like sharp edges. If possible knock off any sharp edges that don't affect the look of the wheel. They make some pretty cool looking powder coat with clear coat

Powder isn't easy to touch up if chipped. Paint is much easier to fix if chipped if you a solid color base and clear coat.

Powder is basically melted plastic so when a rock or something hits it it has a tendency to bounce off instead chipping. Paint is just the opposite its much rigid so it chips easier.
