Wheel polishing/powdercoating

Wanting to get my work equip centre bits painted, and not sure if regular spraypaint will hold once there flying along at 60mph.

A name and number of someone who could possibly blast off the old paint, powder or the likes on some new paint, and polish them up a bunch would be great........

I did one already with good old primer then topcoat etc, dont actually look too bad, but just concerned about it stayin put. i know it wont last forever but a wheel person/shop can obviously do something stellar compared to me.

also 1 rim has curbing, is this fixable? they are 1pce equips 14x6 and 14x6.5

thanks.

luke :)

escort metal polishes. Painting it yourself will last a few years so probably not worth getting it done by a shop.

Escort charge waaaaaaaaay too much and the quality of their polishing is on the decline(a lot of things come into work through them and its been getting worse and worse). Although thats on steel stuff they might be better on wheels but they do charge heaps. I'd try calling Gary at Abel Metal Polishers he does a pretty good job and pretty good on price too.
