Nobody does powder coating in the GTA afaik. Closest place is fireball coatings, but thats up north in shelbourne ontario or something. There's also a place in the kitchener/waterloo area, but i dont know the name off hand...

You must be thinking of ceramic coatings, there's many powder coaters in the GTA.
Also if anybody needs ceramic coating on thier parts you can go to Fireball Performance Coatings...Tell Mark ( the owner) you from the RX7club and he will give you 10%off

Don't forget, if you're powdercoating Aluminum rims, you have to make sure they're using the lower-temp powders. Your rims can get weakened by the higher temp powders, which is why some of the race sanctioning bodies won't let you on the track with powdercoated wheels.

Just a tip, in case your powdercoating place doesn't do aluminum rims often.
