Default powder coating

Does anyone know of a place that will powder coat my wheels in the Charlotte, NC area? Just wanted to know if anyone around here has had it done and if they'd recommend a place. Thanks in advance!

Default Check w/body shops

Auto body shops often need that kind of work done, so they either do it, or would know a good shop in their area.
Motorcycle repair shops, too.

Careful with the method, as far as I know powder coating involves heating the parts about to be coated (part of the process) many of these alloy wheels can't handle the process and will cause deformations / damage. I have simply painted my alloy rims (first I did sand-blasting). Works fine and paint is solid.
