Default Powder coating wheels recommendation

I'm thinking of getting the stock wheels on my 996TT powder coated. Anyone know of a good, reasonably priced shop that might be able to do something like this in the GTA (or north of GTA) area? I'm in Barrie, Ont.

I had rims powdercoated but had the prep done by others. Best to go to those who specialize in wheel refinishing.

it is Steve Rootenberg (formerly Rhote technology)
he has done some really good work for me and very fast turnaround.
lots of experience with Porsches
he is in the back of bestline autobody (around the corner from bestline autotech)

he did my wheels last 2 times, first time was good work, but now i realized i was over charged...

when my gold was done, the turn around was NOT fast and quality was not as good as before, again was over charged...

went back the 3rd time, had my front rim bent, had my wheel for 2 weeks, i called and it was not ready... called me 4 hours later saying it was done<<< WTF?... clear started pealing later

reasons why i did go back this time... no time to call ask "beg" to have my wheels ready...

im not talking ****, he is a great guy tho, but would not recommend them again and they wont get my buisness anymore

I'm glad it wasn't the P-car wheels!
Oh well, live and learn....should have gone to carcone's(the price was the same any way)
they have done a few sets of wheels for me, NEVER a problem...
