olympia powder coating?

Anybody know a good place to get wheels powder coated for a somewhat decent price? I've got the stock silver enkeis and unless I can trade them for some black ones im probably lookin at powder coating soon. But im a married soldier so im not exactly made of money so if you guys have any suggestions id appreciate it. Hopefully around the olympia/lacey area but I am willing to drive a little.


Thanks,
Tim

I forget what the stock enkies are made out of, but I read how it's not 100% smrt to powder coat forged parts because of the heating process.

You can check out American Powder Coating in Auburn, WA which is only ~30 min north of Oly. I've had them do several of my engine bay bits and they do a good job.

I was recommended to use this guy by a colleague of mine. Ive used a couple places locally and they did a horrible job, in my opinion.

I'm actually hoping to head over there tomorrow to see some products and drop off some items. Ill gladly let you know how things turn out.

Everything I saw that they had laying around look great. Swing by there and check it out - talk to Jeff. They are doing some stuff for our show in August. They are over by the Airport...very easy to find.
