powder coating stock wheels

i got an AB and i am thinking about powder coating my stock wheels gloss/matte/candy black

can this be done to the front grill or emblems as well?

where do i take my vehicle to get the wheels taken off that like it can stay there for the few days that they are off getting powder coated.....like i dont have a garage, what do most people do in a situation like that....i live in west palm beach area

also interested to see what anyone else has gotten done in this regards if people have pics

you should probably go to a body shop or something to see if they will let your car sit there for a day or 2 while you r are waiting... If you are palm beach area, I would try Dave's Auto Body on Northlake Blvd (it is right next to costco), they are really nice and they might do it for a small fee... if not, try renntech, etc. Keep trying body shops/performance shops until you find one that will let you leave your car there

they came out excellent i think, i also switched all the interior lights to leds and the license plate light, tomorow morning getting my bat's overlays applied, so maybe after that i will take pictures

i dont know if it's that i'm lazy or lame but i dont want to take pictures til it is all done

i am also having the front mt fuji emblem and the rear G37(leaving the S red) emblem electroplated to chrome black and have the rear infiniti word and mt fuji removed completely

ordered a front splitter and springs to lower also

whenever i make my mind up ima order intake n cats&exhaust so it sounds good also

then i think i'll get back to focusing on real life and reality
