Default Where to powdercoat?

I am thinking of powdercoating my wheels for appearance purposes and need a good shop
with a good price to powdercoat my stock s2000 wheels. I've heard you can do it for $200-$250
for the whole set down in LA somewhere but where can I find a shop that can do it for $200
in the bay area? Thanks!!!

Actually, I was thinking about the "powder-coat" for my wheels too.

I think Bronze stock wheel might look nice on my car. (For temporary though) Until I get my Broze TE-37s..~ hehe..

$200 sounds reasonable~

I want my wheels either gold color (like Advan RG) or
gunmetal color (like OEM Integra Type-R). I have a black car so
I hope it'd look good for now until I can afford a set of Advan
RG.

$200 is cool but where can I get it done? anyone knows???

Maybe we can get the "powder-coating" cheaper.. if we go together~

You guys may want to look into BR&F (I think that's the name). The info for the place:
3380 De Le Cruz Blvd
Santa Clara,CA
(408)988-7582

I have not had anything done there before, but a friend is getting the Z32 plenum on his 300zx done there right now. They're handling the pre-baking, bead blasting, priming, and powder coating. His plenum is only costing $75.

I ocassionally see trucks for "Maas Brothers Powder Coating". They are in Livermore and when I do a Google search for them, I get quite a few car-related links (they seem to sponsor a few racers).

I had the original rims on my 67 VW sandblasted and powdercoated in South San Francisco about 3 years ago. they did an excellent job and the rims came out great.
