Wheel Repair/Powdercoat Recommendations in San Antonio/Austin
Anyone have any good experiences/recommendations with a wheel repair shop that can fix some scuffs and powdercoat/paint my wheels?
Hopefully their work and paint finish has lasted the test of time too. Looking for something in the San Antonio or Austin area.

Wheels America for the refinish. They have a place in San Antonio. For the powder, I'm working with a guy in Kyle. He's knocking out my 19x10.5/9.5s for $400. Pm me for his contact info.

The Tejas Chapter actually visited a powdercoat facility in August, Highpoint Powder Coating. A few members said they'd used them for powdercoating various components and were happy with the results and prices.
But powdercoating and painting are two completely different processes, so a shop that powdercoats/paints probably isn't great at either one, and obviously you need to decide which one you want to do for your wheels. A good powdercoat will last practically forever, but the catch is that you can't mix powder to get whatever color you want like you can with paint; you're limited to the powders that are available.
