Powdercoating wheels?

Does anybody know of any places nearby in central NJ or Bucks, PA that does powdercoating of wheels? I want to get my SS wheels powdercoated white at some point in time. Does Matt's shop do that? Or Paul, do you do powdercoating yet? I would need to have the wheels blasted to clean them up before being coated.

along these lines, i was wondering if powder coating or a coat of POR-15 would be a better deal for my headers on the '69?

they had an inferior job done to them previously and it's starting to flake and rust pretty well. i'd need to get it done over the winter so i have no down time next season, unlike this year

they'd definitely need to be media blasted to get the old material off. perhaps even dipped? i don't know what would be better in this situation.

I'm not sure what the going rate is for wheels. I don't have an oven that large yet but I'm looking into getting one. I could also do a high temp silver powder on headers.

what would you charge? can you strip the old stuff off? i guess i could hit it with the grinder/wire wheel to remove the nasties.

Not sure...if I had to strip them then probably about $100 a wheel. I won't be able to get an oven until spring though when I have enough space for one that big
