powdercoat is more durable but paint genrally will have a better finish/more choice of colours.

Can you not put a coat of laquer on the wheels after powder coating?

Powder coat comes in same finishes as paint now days.
Matt. Satin. Gloss. With any colour as you can spray the wheel with paint and then use clear powder coat instead of lacquer.
Best bet is to courior them to Lemass though

Sand it down evenly keeping the shape across the whole face/rim. Not just the bit that's kurbed. So you are removing the same amount all the way round to keep the balance.

Block it down to the metal. It will probably just be the depth of the paint so won't matter

seems a lot of work to do that with powdercoat imo, isn't it electrostatically applied?
