paint or powdercoating spindles

I just got in my new set of belltech spindles and im looking to either paint them or powdercoat them. What will give me a better result over the cast metal and do any of you have any pics of spindles all done up?

Both will look sweet. Powdercoat will hold up better

My buddy owns the shop so i think im going to end up going with a chrome metallic powder and a clear over it to keep it even more protected from stuff like brake dust and whatnot.

I smoothed mine and I will probably have them powdercoated. Where did you get yours and what did you pay? I want to get another set for a different truck. I got mine from Stylin Concepts a few years ago and paid around $600, but I know you can get them on truckperformance.com for around $475.

Yep powder them, paint will not hold up...and for sure clear over the chrome, I have done this and the clear really makes it pop.

Yea I think im definaly goin with the powdercoat. Im just gonna tape them off and then beadblast them with a fine media to try to smooth out the surface and get rid of any scale that may be there from the casting.
