thanks guys, but im asking because i wanna know a place with good reputation where people have had good experience with

 

well i know Camarillo is a bit ways from you, but we have done alot of business with Xtreme Coatings.. actually its the only place we get our coatings done at..

 

If you want to powdercoat them, take them somewhere, if you want them painted, PM Andino and we can take care of you for a great price.

 

So what's the difference between coating them and painting them? Whats the pros and cons with each?

 

powder coating requires a nice big oven to melt the powder that is electrically applied to the wheel thus creating a nice, smooth, very strong and durable paint job

painting is well... paint... it's a cheaper process, but much more susceptible to wear and tear.
