Talking Good Deal on Rim painting or powder coating Tampa?

I'm from Tampa and I want to paint or powder coat my rims, does anyone know a good place to go to for a decent price?

To answer your question, no, I don't. But I would encourage you to powder coat instead of paint. Powder coating where I live is about $100USD per wheel. Painting, though much less expensive, will eventually chip and flake. You also have to let paint dry whereas powder coating is never wet in the first place so it doesn't have to dry. Powder coating will require you to remove the tires, but painting may be able to be done with the tires still on.

If you're on a budget you could plastidip the wheels (lots of youtube videos about how to do it/how it works). It's fairly easy to diy, and the stuff comes off if you change your mind or don't like it. I just did my winter rims for the cost of two $6 cans of the stuff. It took more time to clean them than to actually do the painting. It has kind of a matte finish, and so it's pretty forgiving (i.e. no sanding prep needed), and you can touch it up if it gets nicked in the future.
