Powder coating wheels
Anyone know of a place in Northern VA that does quality powder coat? Thinking of buying a set of black motorsport rims and coating them.....unless I could find a set of black z06 rims, totally black without the lip bling.

S & H plating here in Nashville does them for $150 a wheel but they are supposedly the best. I will know personally in the next couple of weeks. They only heat the oven to 350 degrees. Still a little too hot for my liking but some have stated 450 in their ovens! Owner did say that the gloss will sometimes get a 'fisheye' appearance because of the porosity and off gasing during baking. He suggested matt finish but I am still leaning toward gloss. I know this is not directly helpful to you in finding one close to home but I thought you might find these things worth considering.
