Good full service wheel powder coating in Los Angeles
I wanted to powder coat my wheels and am looking for a full service shop which I can drop off the car and pick it up after the job is done. Most of the places just do the powder coating but I am looking for a shop which takes off the wheels, does the powder coating, balances the wheels and install them back. Any recommendations for the Los Angeles/burbank/Pasadena area?
I used Cal Chrome in Valencia a few years ago with my XJR. They disassembled the wheels, stripped the chrome, power coated everything, reassembled, and balanced them. They actually have a service where they come to you with a loaner set of wheels while they haul away your set so it's really convenient. Cost was around $2k but it'll be less for single-piece wheels.

That sounds great but the price is very high. Most places which do just coating charge around 600 bucks. I was hoping they would charge maybe 2-300 for all the rest. For 2k I can get a set of fully refurbished new set of wheels. In the same time I have to admit your wheels look super nice and I can imagine was very work intense to clean, sand and powder coat those.

I think getting this done under 1k is a steep ask. I'm in Denver and used a shop like you're looking for when I had my wheels done.
Dropped the car off and they removed the tires, stripped the wheels in an acid bath, applied my powder color choice and then a clear powder, and ceramic coated them for 1600.
I think it was higher because @kiznarsh had them strip the chrome plating off the wheels before powder coating.
Correct, removing the chrome and disassembly/reassembly adds cost but I also don’t think the OP is gonna get powder coating for under $1k, especially when asking shops to balance the wheels.
