Default Powder coating

I know of one place, and have used them several times, but I would like to know if anybody has had any experience with other suppliers. I prefer to find someone/some company that is "local" as in Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse. I have 8-wheels that need to get done this winter and I want to know if I have any options.

The one place I have used is RTR Enterprise in Palmyra, Mike Ryan.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Here are some others I have found out about, I'm putting all in one place so I can find it again.

Caswell Plating is in Lyons NY.
http://www.caswellplating.com

Modern Coatings in Palmyra also. Jim ??? is the owner.

R2 Technologies Inc.
rr2tech@verizon.net

I had some powder coating done by Plastic Systems in Buffalo a couple of years ago. The owner's name is Carl Lobue and the # is (716)838-0484.

I deal with BBD Coaters in Syracuse on a regular basis. They do commercial work for my employer, and I've seen a number of automotive-related parts there also - wheels, suspension, motorcycle frames, etc. (315) 423-1593 Ask for Bob Spencer (he drives a BMW too).

I had a set of motorcycle wheels done by them. It wasn't cheap but, they did an excellent job for the price.

I'm thinking of having my wheels powdercoated this winter. My car is Rio Yellow. I was thinking black or gun-metal grey. Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards black.

Very nice, and thanks.

I'm not saying I don't care about money, but for this set of wheels, I'll spend what it takes because I know these are rare, and very special.
