it is a actual colored powder that is sparyed on and baked in a oven. It is as smooth as paint and can't tell the difference. You can not do it urself unless you have a powdercoating kit and a oven.

you have to get it done by a pro... its as smooth as paint, but its alot stronger. you wont get as many chips/scraches as if you paint them. Most white rims like mine are powder coated from the factory

did your racing harts come with the option of white or did you have to ask them to custom powder coat them?
Most rims on the middle-higher end come powdercoated. I'd say if you're buying a colored rim over $200, its powdercoated. My OZs are powdercoated (and actually the inner surfaces are double coated), all the Volks are. The real Racingharts (as opposed to the Evo knockoffs, but they may also be done), Advans, Works, BBS, etc.... the named ones are all powdered and not painted. Paint sucks, it chips like no other.

And how do u do it?
You don't do it yourself. Take it to a shop, unless you have some way of generating 90,000 Volts and you have the gun that charges the powder. Look in the phone book under metal finishing.
