powder-coating rims

I am thinking about powder-coating my stock lobster forks and would like to see if you guys know of any good place in the bay area. And how much should I expect to pay? Thanks in advance fellas!

yes, it's possible to chrome the lips but will cost extra, expect to pay roughly 50-100 a wheel. You might also want to consider painting them instead. That is how wheels are from the factory.

Captain,

Are those rims coated pure black, metallic black, or indeed a very dark Anthracite metallic???

Some black, wheel centre caps, with the coloured Porsche Crest would set the wheels off nicely!

Wow - that is really striking - I like it.

Does anyone have a pic of Carrera Classic rims done in this fashion??????

And excuse my ignorance, but is "powder" like anodizing or paint or what? Is it durable or will it eventually show the underlying metal color?
