Rim Painting

I was putting on my winter tires this week and dropped one of my summer tires and scratched up one of my emotions pretty bad. since I have two sets of rims (rotas with winters and emotions with summer). is there a good place around here that can paint or powdercoat rims? can i just take them to a place that paints cars?

let me know what the out come was?? I want to powder coat my BBS black.. I currently have a rattle can job and it looks HAWT but I did it over my weights and when i mounted new tires.. I rebalanced them taking the old weights out and you can see where the weights were b4.

When I was back in Baumholder.. the mitsu dealership guy recommended a shop to me around the Baumholder Area which suppose to be really good, as they go through them. Other than that I wouldn't know where to start looking..

Powder coating isn't good for the BBS's. It will make the wheel brittle. I rat-canned my stock enkies blue this summer and has been holding up well

I need to get my bumper painted due to a slight brush I did against another car. I stooped into the paint shop and asked if they painted rims before and they said they did - when I schedule an appointment with them, I am gonna get a price and such. Now I guess the big question is should I paint my Work Emotions a brighter bronze (almost a gold) or go with Mag blue? My car is silver.
