Since you have nearly the same screen name and z06 rims I guess I'll respond!

I have had a couple things powder coated. My rear brake calipers, all four brake abutment brackets, a car audio amp and a set of rims. I have had the calipers on the car for 2 years and they still look flawless.

I can't help you with sponsors powder coating, a co-worker of mine has a business powder coating. If you have something you want a thick durable coating on, I think it is very cool stuff.

The place i am using to get a massive list of parts powder coated charges 35 a wheel, real cheap but good work. The do the power wheel chairs for the company Scooter and others.

I am in Tallahassee, and work at Tallahassee Welding, Powdercoating, etc...
We usually get anywhere from $40 - $50 per wheel depending on how much sandblasting is needed, and what color.
Misc. items depend on how much taping off and prep work we have to do to them.
