I looked into a local powder-coating shop and they want $85/wheel for an oem-like metallic-silver finish or $55/wheel for just a plain silver. For that price I might as well sell mine for cheap and buy new ones in the market with the money I saved getting them powder-coated.

Either way, mine are flaking around the lug holes where it was very difficult to sand and is pretty much the same surface he painted onto... Hopefully he doesn't see similar results.

I followed an almost identical guide when I did mine that was posted on maxima.org. The only difference is I used bondo and sanded down the entire wheel because in my paint experience if you don't rough up the surface it won't stick? Either way, mine are flaking around the lug holes where it was very difficult to sand and is pretty much the same surface he painted onto... Hopefully he doesn't see similar results.

That does make sense that it is flaking around the lug nut holes though since that was a difficult place to clean.

Looks great Dawn! I'm a little nervous for mine too 
But we will see, I think I will try to talk to Andrew about stopping over this Sunday to get those camber kits put in so I can finally get an alignment. I think I might lower the front just a bit more yet before I get it done, I'm just hesitant to hold off a bit since I don't wanna get an alignment done and then realize later I want to change my height or stance

Good Morning fellas! Greetings from SoFlo 
Dawn you should really consider investing in the front camber kit, It will help out a ton not only saving your tire life but will make your wheels look more flush. i noticed now that i don't have my front SPC camber arms my camber went from -1.7 to -2.9 and now my front offset dont look like a +20 LOL! gonna reinstall it here pretty soon.
