I'd take it and have it powder coated if I were you. Probably cost you between 50-60 bucks and it would be well worth the time and effort saved over stripping, priming, painting, and clearing on your own. Plus IMO it looks smoother than paint and is more resistant to the abuse.

alright sweet, thats a lot cheaper than I imagined and a heckuva lot cheaper than buying a new one when mine is perfectly fine.

Thanks, I'll start calling around...

Good luck.... I've noticed prices vary considerably when it comes to powdercoating so definitely shop around. I know a buddy of mine had his rims powdercoated black and they charged him like $40 each so that'll give you a starting point I hope.
