Quality Powder Coating in So Cal?

figure I post it here since this thread seem to have more traction:
I just bought some Rays Gram lights 57dr in silver. This is a one piece aluminum wheel. However, I want to powder coat them to a semi-gloss black color before I put them on. 2 questions
1. Do the inside stickers with the specs get affected? Do they cover these stickers so that they remain intact during the whole process? I do not want to lose these stickers (as a means of authenticity).
2. Do the engravings get a nice clean look after the process? Here are the engravings in question: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/attac...3&d=1386616309
I called a few shops here in SoCal and it seems to run $320-$350 for the set of 4 wheels. However, there are extreme variations in completion time, from 1-2 full days to a whole 7 days. What's the average/safe point? I read the longer the better so the powder has proper time to cure. But is 7 days excessive and 1-2 days a rushed job?
Thanks!

Wow, I didn't know it was that inexpensive to PC a set of wheels. I just got quoted $500 for standard colors and $700 for a special color from a forum sponsor....Might have to look into this further.

Reliable Powder Coating, Downey....
So I decided to use Reliable after using my former powder coater for over twenty years. I could not be happier with the results. Jackie and Kim are the absolute best, and the quality of work is second to none. I used two different colors of Prismatic powder, with Tiger clear applied over each. This is the IS before...

Do you have an LS or GS? I saw this thread yesterday (Tuesday) and by chance saw a Lexus in Fullerton pulling out of a shopping center with what looked like these wheels. I was going the opposite direction so I didn't get the greatest look at what car
