Default Quality Powder Coating in So Cal?

I have used several powder coating companies in the Inland Empire area of Southern California over the last 25+ years, but I'm looking for something new. I still have many parts done at a long standing company, and they treat me extremely well, but some colors are limited and I want as close to perfection as possible.

I am going to install a set of aftermarket wheels on my F (leaning toward the VMR 810's) with a set of 'weekend' only tires, but in the meantime I want to PC the OEM set (one was curbed very slightly by the original owner), as well as a set of OEM Audi S4 wheels, and a set of OEM WRX wheels.

All of these cars are extremely clean and I want the best quality job I can get.

Suggestions? I am all over California so not really geographically limited.

Thanks!

I had some wheels done at Embee performance, in Orange. They did a good job. I think they do work for other companies too because I remember seem sets of identical wheels sitting in their workshop, on pallets. I would NOT recommend Fast Forward Wheels, in El Monte.

Might help to post this in the SoCal board.

Thanks. I agree the SoCal board would be best, I didn't even know it existed. Does a moderator have to move the thread?

Thanks Chris. I have heard of Reliable in the past, used to drive the 605 past Firestone often so I know the area fairly well. Talked to them yesterday at length, going to give them a try.

I'm also interested in your review. I've also heard great things about Reliable PC.

I'm interested to know too, I have some wheels I need refinished and $60 a wheel sounds like a pretty damn good deal.

What company did you go with before? I don't need crazy colors, just good work.
