Default powder coating on the southside

Anyone have a shop they could recommend to me? I have a set of wheels that i'd like to get done in the next few months. I was quoted over $400.00 by a place on the peninsula. Thanks,

jim

There's a shop here on Central Dr. that does everything. Powder, Thermal, Chrome...give us a call around 10am I have his card in the rolodex. They have a HUGE oven so really anything you want to get done can get done, they are very well priced also. $400 seems VERY high..that's $100 a wheel? They didn't have to unmount and mount your tires again?

Thanks _crs. I'll be calling you guys very soon. I plan on wearing these tires out and getting the rims powder coated before putting the new tires on. I thought that $400 was too high.

CRS, do we have to take off our tires before hand or do they do it? How long does the process take to get powdercoated?
