Okay, whatever, does anybody know of a good shop in the SRQ/Bradenton area where I can get my wheels powder coated black or gunmetal. Unless there is somebody in the area who does it on the side...

Got my rims powdercoated by Glen's on John's Road. About 6-7 months later the paint was chipping around the edges. Could've been my fault, though. I used to take my car to a full-service car wash, and the track could've rubbed against the rims and caused the damage. He charges $100 dollars per rim and it takes like 3 days.

+1 for procoat, I had 6 wheels done in gloss black. It cost $30 to strip the factory paint off em and $60 to powder coat em. $90 a wheel and they look absolutely amazing. Funny thing is, I bought the wheels on sale for $75 apiece....all in all, the total was cheaper than most wheels out there and mine are originals.

I just dropped a valve cover off for a gloss black coat as well. Good customer service and quality work. At least a 2 week wait.
