Default wheels powder coat

Hey I'm looking to get my stock AP1 wheels powder coated bronze. Does anyone know a good place to get them done, and if you know how much it will cost. Thanx!

I had mine done at Ye Olde Wheel shop (in MD). They did a pretty good job.

I don't know if Peter(4theheckof_it) purchased powdercoating equipment, but I know for a fact that Ye Olde Wheel Shop does not powdercoat.

Yea any pics you guys have would be great. Where is the shop you guys are talking about at?? What would be the difference between painting and powder coating as far as how long they will last? eg: any paint comming off or flaking

Its in Elkridge, MD. Ye Old wheel shop recommended the paint because it was softer than powdercoating an would stand up to flaking and chipping better. Maybe someone can chime in and comment on the powdercoating. I had my wheels done back in the summer and I havent seen any chipping and/or flaking yet (fingers crossed).
