Default Wheel Painting/Powder Coating in San Antonio

Looking to get my stock 5 spokes painted/PC'd black. Was kinda tossing the idea up in the air last year, but I had to replace a wheel that was bent and this "new" one is oxidizing, or something and it looks ugly. Figured this is my chance to paint them all.
Not looking to spend a whole lot, but not really digging the whole rattle-can DIY look.
Anyone have any recommendations?

For the price of a decent paint or PC you could buy new wheels. I would just do it yourself, theres a few really good write ups. Just take your time and prep well, and they'll come out good.

I agree Powder coating or painting them can get pricey. look up wheels of america or call me for prices. I think i still have black ppg paint in the garage.

I also don't have alot of time to have the car down if I were to paint them myself. I work nearly everyday, and my car is my DD.

I spoke to you I believe this time a year ago. Not that I doubt your abilities, but unfortunately, your quote was just out of my budget.

I haven't found any that I'd like to replace them with. Plus, that's just more money I don't have.

The cost of powdercoating stock wheels isn't worth the benefits, in my opinion. You can buy a nice set of 17inch wheels for near the same cost of powdercoating your stock wheels.
