Default Where can I get my wheels powdercoated?

Where can I get my wheels powdercoated? I have some 1999 "Fat" C5 wheels on my 2002 Z28, and I want to get them powdercoated black with the polished lip like the Pace Car or GS wheels. TIA, Shawn

Just open the phone book and look up powdercoating.

Watch out if the rims are "thinnesh". Somebody tried to powder coat some Fikse outer rims and the heat warped them. :cry :eek:

This is a 3 piece rim that had the center powdercoated, then machined, then clearcoated. It adds a very high sheen to the powder coating.

Sweet wheels.
