Painting your rims in Seattle area

I am thinking of painting my rims to match body color. Have you done any painting job for your rims in Seattle area? Any recommendation for vendor who can do nice paint job for rims?

I got recommendation to go to Doug @ Wheel works in Kirkland. If you have done rims paint job with them, please provide some comments. He provided estimates of $1100 to paint set of 4 rims. Is that too much or good deal?

I don't plan to do powder coating because of the heat treatment may weaken the metals on rims, so I am looking for recommendation for straight up good paint job for rims. Thanks!

OP, you should probably check the Northwest section for advice, if you haven't already.

Thanks Seattle996 for the reco. I can't PM you (yet) due to minimum post requirement. this is what I got when trying to PM you.

"To be able to send PMs your post count must be 15 or greater"

It would be great if you can pm me with your vendor contact. Thanks!

Sorry, it was just a general suggestion when I saw you looking for input in the Seattle metro area. I figured you might get some more targeted feedback. I did have one wheel repaired/painted up in the Lynnwood area and believe the name of the company was Cascade Wheel. I have misplaced their contact information at this time though, so I'm not too much help there.
