Default recommendation for powder coat/paint shop in Charlotte? For wheels.

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations. I want to change the color of my wheels, and looking for quality and price. Powder coating or paint.

Thanks in advance

Please let me know when you find a place. I will call around and see what I can find as well. I live in uptown Charlotte.

I live uptown as well.

I hear about people (around the country) getting them done for like $50-75 per wheel, but the few powdercoating places I've looked at in CLT have been in the $125-150 per wheel range (with another $25 re-mounting fee). If I lived in a house with a garage, instead of a condo building with a communal garage I would honestly just refinish them myself and paint them.

Hopefully someone here has a recommendation to find a place. Not in the market for new $2000-3000+ wheels etc for another year or so, and definitely dont want to spend $500-650 refinishing my 06 stockies.

I live in Indian Trail... Not far from uptown. We have several powder coating shops in my area. Can't think of the names but I'll drive out today and send a PM with the name. I know one of them does wheels and automotive work.

If you guys are willing to drive to the Hickory area, there's a reputable shop by the name of Powder River Technologies that does a very good job. The guy's name is Mark, I believe. He gave me a $50/wheel quote for powdercoating the face of my Volks. Here's the number: 828-465-2894

Call up RimGuard Extreme and speak to Doug. He's in the middle of completely rebuilding my VSXX. Good dude too. He works with a few of the 350z guys in the area. PM me if you want his phone number.
