Were your wheels one piece or 3 piece? What is the cost to get a set powdercoated?

you asked if anyone had their wheels painted or powder coated g m and who did the work, so I posted 2 of the best places in Tampa that powder coat.

As far as color match, call them.

Call John G of Gulf Coast Powderwerks. (7.2.7.4.2.1.9.1.1.7) He's speedy and does awesome work.

Check out the valve covers he did for me, color is a textured metal base called "copper vein":

Glenn's did my 1 piece wheels
I don't remember how much they cost then as this was probably 5 or 6 years ago.

I was at Pro Coat on Friday and they told me about $125.00 per wheel
