i think the problem is keeping the powderocat on these rims due to the magnesium in them .

Just sand blast and have em painted?
Will regular etch primer work for magnesium? If so you can use a zinc etch primer like EtchWeld from Bilt Hamber which is suitable for use under powder coating

I had my ears wheels painted as they were powder coated when I had them which I didn't think was much good compared to a decent paint. Quite flat in comparisson.
