Hi All!
I'd like to black out my wheels (gloss metallic black), either powdercoat or paint, either process is fine with me as long as it's done right, looks good, and is durable.  Any recommendations?  I live in Southbay, but willing to drive most anywhere in the Los Angeles, Long Beach, and North OC areas.  Thanks!  Jeff

Try these guys...located in Valencia.  I use them for production stuff, but I always see custom car and moto parts there.

Tortoise is good quality and good price.  Talk w/Steve (you can mention Stuart @ FlightCycles if you want...).  323-258-7776  Tortoise has more color options than Pyramid, but no where near the color options as Andrews.
 
Pyramid is a Mom&Pop shop in Sunland.  Great price, but I've had a couple issues w/quality from them but considering that they almost always do an awesome job and are cheap...I usually give them first crack at it providing they have the powder color you're after.  818-768-5898

Andrews Powdercoating though...  8.3 ka-Billion colors.  UN-FRICKIN-SURPASSED quality, but damn, damn, damn.....are they pricey!  
I don't have a number for Andrews, but they're website is:  www.powdercoater.com

Simple really...

Applied Powder coat in oxnard. they have done all of our stuff for years, and have worked with me enough to develop new powder that lays much flatter without the orange peel that you normally have with powder... Incredible gloss balcks, etc...

Awesome guys - 805-751-0133 ask for Vic or Al, and tell them I sent ya
