I started to paint my own wheels but I don't like how they are turning out, I want to have them powdercoated somewhere. Anyone know a good place? Any one know around how much it will cost? They are oem e46 mr wheels. They are black and I want them silver.

powdercoating involves baking them in an oven so they have to be done in a facility

If you can ship the wheels I have a guy in texas who does beadblasting and powerder coating for me at very resonable rates. However it may be expensive to ship rims back and forth... I use him for small parts all the time.

shipping one way would be at least 200 bucks so that is a little to much. I'm looking on google for someone that does powdercoating and can't find anything.

Your gonna have to unmount the tires to refinish the wheels so you would just be shipping the rims. It's probably more like $100 one way.

So I found out my mecanic has a sand blaster, I'm going to sand blast them then have one of his boys paint them proffesionally, maybe even refinish them.
