Powder coated my rims
I had some damage done to my rims from a shop during an oil change so they had to pay the powder coating bill. Here's the result...
They used to be matte gunmetal, but the shop couldn't match the same color so I did matte black. It looks much better in my opinion.

Looks good, what WOULD the cost have been if you had to pay?? Just wondering because I drive my car in the winter and I'm pretty sure the paint on my AMR rims won't last more than a few years at best.. I see powdercoating in my future

It was $680 total. That's on the expensive side...but It was done in 24 hours and all I had to do was drop off my car and pick it back up the next day. They unmounted the tires, acid dipped the old finish off, fix any curb rash, bends or nicks, base coat of primer, 2 coats of matte black ,mounted and balanced my tires and there is a lifetime warranty on the finish, and it was ready at noon the next day. So if I were paying out of pocket, I still would have chose this option for simple convenience. The other quotes I got needed the rims for 2 weeks and were about 150 less.
