Question Where to get wheels painted/powder coated?

Picked up a used set of GMG wheels over the weekend, but need to have them blasted, then re-painted or powder coated. Any suggestions?

You may want to check with GMG - depending on the type of wheels, you may have to repaint rather than powder coat them due to metallurgy. Some ultralight mono bloc wheels are susceptible to heat, and powdercoaters who don't specialize in wheels may cause damage to the wheels.

Any plating company can help you out. Most used to be out West outside of Lakewood (ish). There are also specialty wheel repair/plating companies.

Just exchanged a couple of emails with GMG, looks like liquid paint is the way to go. I suppose this is something a body shop could do.
