don't powdercoat...do a liquid coat.
There is a place in Los Angeles called Speedline Finishing. Call 411 and get their number and find out exactly what liquid coating is (not sure if that's what you call it). Then find a place local to you that does it.
My buddy got some BBS wheels done in murcialago (sp?) black and they look sweet as hell.

IMHO it looks MUCH nicer than powder coating. The finish comes off looking more like paint. With a clear coat and everything.
The place i'm talking about can do ANY automotive color, and i think it was about $75 per wheel.
i'll try and find a pic...

That does look nice. But powdercoat can have the same glossy appearance.

exactly, you can get your powdercoat with different gloss properties, different textures, etc. the place i go through does wheels for $25 a pop too, can't beat that!

I called a few places and the absolute cheapest was
$25 / wheel to powdercoat
$5-15 / wheel to strip existing paint
Most expensive I found was like
$50 / wheel to strip paint
$160 for all four to powdercoat

how did you do that in PS? I want to see what my wheel would look like if I powder coated them bronze but it looks like crap since Im not the best at PS.
