Powder-coat shop in SoCal area?
Hey guys,
I need some suggestions for a good powder-coat shop in SoCal for my rims. I don't mind paying a bit more for a better/safer job. Thanks! |

Ive used both EMbee and HighTech coatings in south OC area. Embee sucks. High Tech did a great job.

I had him ceramic coat my exhaust and the job preformed was horrible. He sprayed my connecting pipes with the clamps and bolts on them (exhaust came in pieces)! So once I moved the clamp, you could see the stainless steel below it!
Why on earth would they add the clamps over the stainless I paid to have covered? The ceramic coating he used was also crap too. And the coating wound scrape off way too easily. That exhaust got wrecked so I bought a new one and had hi tech do it and he did a MUCH better job. He painted it all individually. He removed the nuts and bolts unlike the other guy who just sprayed it all like earl schrib! The job was just miles better. And his ceramic coating came out with a nice thick coat that does not scrape off and it has a nice satin look to it. In fact my exhaust pretty much matches my black 359 wheels. The coating at embee was flat flat black. It looked dry. That was my experience. High tech for me. Plus high tech was much faster service for me too

High Tech took a moment to not spray the hardware. The coating just looks like black 359 wheels.

If you're in South Bay, I recommend:

Thanks. He charged me $800 for X-pipe and dual cans, so I guess that's about right. Just picked them up today. At a glance, it appears he did an excellent job. Thanks for the tip.
