Wondering if you could powder coat wheels in "Mag Blue" from Volks
Shops can rarely ever get the color right... If you guys think you can get it right, quote for a set of 19" wheels please.

exact color matching with powder is impossible since we're limited to what our distributors already have made, custom orders for powder require a 500lb minimum but they do offer a candy blue that i can shoot over a metallic silver base coat which will come out very similar. A gunmetal grey base coat can also be used to make the blue a little darker. I'll place an order for some samples n shoot them next week for you since we're going to be wrapping up for the holidays soon.

Am considering getting a quality paint job (doesn't have to be powder coating) on a set of wheels in that color come spring time. Lemme know what you guys are capable of

Yup. Misty blue from prismatic powders is a very close match. I'd say 80-90 percent match.
