good place to powdercoat rims in the LA area...?

Anyone have any recommendations as to where to take my rims to get them powdercoated either a dark gunmetal or black...? i really like the way my rims look after they've collected a lot of brake dust, hehehe, seriously!!...

I'm in the Los Angeles area, santa monica/westwood area to be specific.... how long does it usually take? and how much does it usually cost (i don't have a spare set of rims/tires)?

My work has many connection to Powder Coat Company. One of out vendor showed us his new RX300 with GunMetal Powder Coat wheels, which look great. The vendor offer me a special price if I send my wheel for powder coating. Usually he charger 80 per wheels. If you want, I can give you the information.

You should have started a new thread....this one is three years old.

The best place for you to try is Olympic Powder Coating off Dyer in Santa Ana. The actual street is Garnsey. it the street where the big Sears wharehouse is located, just the other end of the block
