Default Painting Wheels?

Any places around Atl that will do an ok job? You guys hooked me up with a place that will do powdercoating for about $40 a wheel, would it be cheaper or expensive to have them painted? Who could do a good job?

Man, for 40 bucks a wheel go ahead and have them powder coated. Shoot, I really don't think you will find a shop that will prep, paint and supply the materials for 40 bucks a wheel. At least a shop that does good work. I'm sure Maco could do it for less but I seriously doubt that they will prep them good. Heck, I paint my own wheels and would rather pay someone to powder coat them at that price. Materials will be more 100 bucks by the time you buy primer, paint and hardener.

BTW, who did you find that will do them for 40 bucks a wheel? Got a phone number?

$40 a wheel is a steal..do that deal quick before the guy comes to his senses...powder coating will hold up better than paint...
