I would totally recommending powder coating OEMs, the original finish was just way too shiny for my tastes.
where did u get yours done in la? also...what's the difference between textured black and matte black?

That is a satin black instead of matte. The OP's look more gunmetal in the picture. When you go to get it done they will probably have 10 different blacks to choose from.
