    She's gone but not forgotten.
    There's an old thread in here somewhere about rattle-can on wheels. I did it and it looks excellent, close to (but not same) as powdercoat. Involves washing, sanding, adhesion promoter and several coats. It's held up very well except on the lugnuts, I didn't spend the time to sand 24 of the things. But like mentioned above touch-up is super easy so when the black flakes off the lugnuts I just spritz them black again.
