How good is Scientific Metal? Do they properly prep your wheels? Do they media blast all the paint off the wheels? Choice of colors?
I know I could just call them but since you have dealt with them I would like to hear your feedback about them.
Oh and Wheel Techniques. That place is over priced and use some ****ty paint. Dont know about their powder coating or hard anodizing.I had a set of wheels painted by them and they looked very good when I picked them up. A year later with only one trip to Tahoe and the paint was all pitted and chipped from the sand and small rocks. Garbage paint.
Hell my rattle can'd wheels have outlasted the professionally painted wheels.
Should have and gone back and had them look at the wheels after one year and use. Should of, could of but didn't. Fail on my part.

Bc it's doesn't last. I painted my BBS. Sanded them all down, primered, painted and clear coated them. Paint has lasted about a year and a half or so and is starting to show wear and some chips from rocks. Rattle can paint in my opinion is too soft for use on wheels. Unless you some sort of industrial strength paint. But color options may be limited.
