Painting Lobsters

I need to paint my lobsters all black. Or possibly Basalt Black. Can someone recommend a good shop in Los Angeles? Plus, how much will this run me?

Your honor,

I had mine polished and painted black at Wheel Enhancement in Culver City. My local dealer in Dallas set it all up for me so there was no down time. W/E had the factory wheels in stock, so they painted them, sent them to my dealer, and took my wheels as the core charge. The whole thing w/ new center caps cost me $1279 plus mounting and balancing. W/E did an excellent job. Here's a pic so you can see how it looks. BTW, you can't tell from the pic but they painted the inside of the wheels black too. This way I won't have to worry about the inside of the wheels tarnishing and they clean up easier.

Pictures coming soon JBJ. Im a lazy bum. Went down to wheel enhancement today and changed my mind. I really want the deep dish Sportecs. But they don't carry Sportecs. They have some sort of knockoff called Sport Technic. Its the same exact wheel and they claim it comes from the same factory that produces Champions' wheel. The cost is about 3700.

Thank u flyinglow!

Which deep dish Sportecs are you talking about? I have only seen one model and it has a small lip on the rear and almost no lip on the fronts. I would love to see those. Do you have a pic of the Sport Technics?

Nevermind... found the pics at Wheel Enhancement.

I saw the rims at wheel enhancement. They look identical to the sportecs. Its a direct knockoff. But 3700 is not a knock off price. Apparently, they are forged and ultra lightweight. Id love to find out more about the company behind these puppies.
