Default Cost of getting 4 ap1 wheels professionaly painted

Hi, just wondering if any guru knows the estimate for getting 4 ap1 wheels professionally painted black, before I go around calling every bodyshop. Thanks in advance!

You can do it yourself, and black makes for an easy transition.

And here is how easy it is to accomplish your own wheel painting.

I kind of suck at it, I tried to spray can a lip once,and it turned out pretty ugly. I figure powder coat or professional paint would be the best way to go about it. I guess I'll try my hand at it again, but it's kind of hard now that it's almost 0 degrees outside, and I don't have a heated garage.

I see the roll bar paint, is that the closest thing to Matte black?

So I went ahead and painted them myself. Really like how it turned out, but was wondering if I should put a coat of clear on top of it. However I really like how it looks as of right now, will the paint survive without the clear coat as in weather and cleaning?
