How much $$ and where to get rims painted in SoCal?

[SWRX]

Thinking about painting the "center piece" of my 2-piece forged rims (maybe gunmetal or black to go with my silver GT)....just wondering what "type" of painting and how much to expect...and if there is a place within 30 miles of Los Angeles that you recommend...thanks in advance!

I'm interested...what's the benefits of powdercoating vs painting? How much TOTAL (including removing, re-mounting the tires and balancing the wheels)? Where is your friend at? What's the turn-around time? Thanks!

powder coat is a ceramic coating that's baked on to the metal. it MUCH harder than paint, and if done right should be able to take a few scrapes without coming off. Powdercoat can also have texture, and look more metallic than paint.

if you want to coat something something that's going take a beating like a wheel you want powdercoat over paint for sure. it also sticks better.

also interested in the pricing info swrx is, thanks!
