I think that's the company we use at my dealership. If it is them, they do amazing work.

It's like $50-100 per wheel, depending on the damage, extent of damage, etc. I'd call and ask him.

Not sure if he powedercoats or refinishes. They did my Z06 rims on the car, but last time he fixed an Acura ASpec rim for me off the car, he picked it up since he was downtown.
