Anyone know of a good shop in the Los Angeles area that does powdercoating at a "reasonable" cost. Last place I called charges over $100 per wheel.

It's funny you posted this...I was just browsing HT today and ran across an old post of yours that you mentioned his place. I called 411, and talked to him for a little bit. I couldn't have spoken to a nicer guy. His place is actually in Anaheim...I have to drive like 2 hours to get there though.

He quoted me $35 a piece, that includes stripping the wheel of the original finish.

I picked up a set of Buddy Club P1's. I'm gonna get them done as close to Racing Harts winning gold as I can. If that's not possible, I'm gonna try and bite Volk's bronze/gold color.

That would be pretty damn cool. I remember those used to come in silver, white or black with the red lip...I'm kinda pissed that the shop is so far from my house.
