I have a set of 8² Campys from Hall that were refurbed and powder coated.
I love the way they look. I just wish they were 17²/16² like my Pantera
East wheels.
The powder coating makes them very easy to clean too. A proper paint job
would probably look great, but I wouldn¹t hesitate to do powder coating
again.
