Oh yes, trust me when I say that this paint is a joke. I mounted these tires myself at the wheel repair shop I moonlight at. The paint chipping is from the "pry bar" esque tool that's used for pulling the bead up over the edge, as well as the tire itself just slipping over the edge.

Powdercoating holds up better than wet painting, that's for sure.

And yes, chrome removal is a pain. Aluminum wheels don't like chrome plating.
