Default Powdercoating in the SA/Austin area? polish?

I have a spare set of silver 17x9 WS6 wheels, Im thinking of either polishing them or powdercoating them. Is it better to just polish them yourself? Im not sure what kind of work goes into it. Also, if I decide to powdercoat. Any good/cheap places in this area?
Thanks
Patrick.

I send all my stuff to a guy here in SA for polishing. Turn around time on a vic jr intake and rails was two days. And it came out great. My powder coating guy is superfast. He has done them in the same day LOL. But most of the time its a two day turnaround. They both do good work and they are not cheap. It was $250 for the vc jr to be fully polished. But he does a excellent job! Good work / Cheap should be banned in the same sentence!

i talked to him recently, he sent me an email on working overseas. pretty sure his number is still the same. If you give the wheels a thorough cleaning before you give them to him, they will come out good.

Yes, Pflugerville. The OP is familiar with Austin, so that was addressed at him. Sorry for the confusion.
