Default Local Powder Coater

Looking for references for a reputable powder coater in the Chicago Western Suburbs. Any idea about cost to coat 4 clean aluminum factory wheels? Thanks guys.

Someone told me recently that there is a powder-coater in Crest Hill, but I don't have the name of the company.
I plan on looking them up soon as my frame and suspension components need to be done.

Rick-

I used Motorsport Powdercoating up in Delavan, WI (262/740-2030) back in 2008 when I did my front suspension. They usually have a booth they advertise from up in Jefferson. I think they are still around.

Since I drive mine and sometimes get caught in the rain, I wanted to powdercoat the cast iron pieces. They were able to pretty closely replicate a raw cast iron finish for the spindles and upper control arm cross shafts, etc. If I remember correctly I think they used a 60% gloss for the chassis black for the control arms. May be a bit far from Ed from the western suburbs though.

For some reason I can't these pictures to post correctly.......

I've used a few in our area Ed.
Try Powder Coating Specialists in Brookfield.Also Pro-Tek In Joliet is good.American Powder Inc. in St.Charles is OK too.
Complete Powder Coating in Crest Hill I've used for sandblasting,but not tried their powder coating service.
