Wheel repairers do that sort of thing. If you are in Melbourne, Neway wheel repairers in Heidelberg West would be the place to go. All Bob Jane and Goodyear and that send customers wheels there to be repaired, so they are the go to people for wheel modification.

There are plenty of powdercoaters around it's just a matter of finding one that will do small jobs.

I expect you may find you will need to do all the paint stripping or clear coat stripping yourself so as to present a clean bare metal product for the process.

You don't have a state listed, which would have helped.

I'm in SA, guy who did mine charges $50 per wheel, which includes getting the wheels stripped/acid bathed before hand. ****in bargain if you ask me

If you can't find anywhere local that can do it, might be worth couriering them to SA.

Most powdercoaters can do this for you (as long as they're prepared to do small jobs). You don't need to prep the wheels yourself, they do that (but you can to save money). Also there's wheel repair places that can do it too, with prep depending on the finish of the wheels you have. I had my SSVs powdercoated satin black and it cost me $60 per rim including prep.

Victoria's a big place. If you live in Mildura I'm not going to recemmend you a place in Orbost.......
Get on Yellowpages and look up Powdercoaters or Wheel Repairers. Even Google the same things and look for those in your area.

Just do what wikki said.

When i did mine, i was just driving past with the wheels still in the car, and thought i'd see if he'd do them. Left them with him there and then when he said $50 a rim, i thought it would be like 500 for a set of wheels.
