For powdercoat try Wheel Techniques. And Do a search on these forums for info.

They have 2 locations, one near SAC and the other in Santa Clara.

wheel techniques doesnt offer the finish im getting, and just to torque the face back on the barrel they want 150-175 per wheel. thats there minimum charge =( lol the powdercoating is only costing me 150 for all 4 faces but i hve to pay 700~ to have them reassembled

I got a similar quote from Wheel Technique months ago when I called about having a stained rim repolished. I'd say either try Memory Fab or Rite way, they have both been recommended here before.
