good place to get rims painted in orange county or los angeles?
 

any suggestions from personal experience?

what are you looking for?

Instead of getting them painted, you should just get them powdercoated. It will be a little more expensive but the powdercoating will hold up a lot better than paint, especially because it is the rims where a lot of debris hits.

Just search around for powdercoating shops and look for the best price. Shouldnt be more than $200 for all four.

Get them powdercoated at Embee in the OC. Great facility, upstanding, and great quality/service... $60/wheel. I've had tons of my Porsche parts done there.

And trust me, powdercoating is way cheaper than a properly done paint job... I used to be an investor in an bodyshop, I'd know. To hand-sand a wheel, paint, clear, and rub by hand, you'd be looking at $1k and up. Yes, some shops can do it for cheaper, but when it comes to painting, you get what you paid for.

Having said that, a properly cared for paint finish on a wheel lasts perfectly fine. I've had more than a few sets painted, and the set on my FX are over 3 yrs old... still mirror-like finish. With paint, you can achieve a smoother finish than can ever be possible with powdercoating.

GL...

EDIT: Here's the paint finish off of my M Coupe (sold).
