Default Powdercoaters in LA?

Okay guys, I've searched through the forums for a reputable powdercoater in LA and I'm comming up short..

I want to powdercoat my Track Rays into TA style... I think it looks sick in that style...

Anyone know a place in LA?

let me know, I am in the wrought iron business and use powder coating all the time. I usually use metal chem on Nordhoff & Canoga it's next to my shop. The owner is my buddy, I am sure I can get you a discount.

yeah, I know a lot of people are doing it, but I liked the color scheme with my CS Z... I was going to do black rims anyways, the red trim just ads to it

I appreciate the help... here's an idea of what I'm trying to do..



Like this or more the gunmetal look with the TA trim like the seibon edition volks

Thanks bro,... That's what I feel about that color scheme... I might go the Seibon route... I really like the gunmetal appeal...

I'm getting quoted from $150 per wheel to $50... but that's only the base color of gunmetal... so I gotta still do the lip painting... imma go search the database for the forums, but does anyone know off hand what type of paint and how it's applied? Any info would be appreciated

Well the best quote I've gotten was suggested by erickim080387 (thank you for the recommendation) which was reliable powdercoating @ 50 per wheel... and that's for one coat of metallic paint (which is gunmetal for me)... the price goes up for two or three tone paint jobs in some cases...

i'm only doing one tone because I have search majority of TA posts and most of them said they used brake caliper paint to do the trim... which seems easy to me... just have to tape off the rest of the rim from the edge of the lip.
