However the day that you rub your tire on a curb going through an ATM or picking up food and scratch it there will be a difference in fixing it. With the painted surface you can tape off around the damage, clean it, use a sandable primer, sand it (so everthing looks smooth), reshoot the bad section and then clear coat it to match (assuming you use the same products, so if you do it at a body shop then ask for extra paint/clear coat to use with an air brush later).

With the power coat you have to unmount the rim/tire and send it back to be redone...

Post that photoshop pic when you get done!
