i know of a few but it depends on what you are coating. I know a place for wheels, and another for smaller things like tips, roundles etc.

I took my wheels to a place in Santa Ana called Embee Performance. They did a pretty good job on my m5 wheels.

How much did they charge and how long did it take? Curious, thinking about PC'ing my wheels too (either gloss black or matte grey, not sure yet)

if you are willing to ship them out, i would recommend Action Powder Coating in Long Island, NY they did an amazing job on my 545 stock sport package rims. And around NY they have a great reputation they've been around for years and they will powder coat anything, breaks, wheels, even the railings in your house.

They charge $60/wheel. If your wheels have previously been pc'd then they charge an extra $20/wheel to get them stripped. It only takes about 2-3 days. I got mine pc'd Anthracite.

Same questions apply when asking: How much and how long?

Eurorev charges about $100 per wheel + $50 mounting/balancing... and it takes about 3-5 business days/
