Powder coat five spoke

Planning to powder coat stock wheels to gloss black, picture below appears matte. Any specific paint I should request? Would like to keep machined edge, most tire shops tend to scratch my wheels being careless for any maintenance.

our cars are like, identical. i did the same blackouts you did (with the front badge/lip) but also did the rear and door handles too.
i duno, i like the diamond grill still being chrome and the rest black, just personal opinion.
and those wheels look good. i have thought about powercoating the wheels as well. its just a pita. did it a few times on my old subaru. not having a spare car doesnt help.
go take wheels off, powdercoat, go get wheels remounted....... then again, i am a lazy *******. so... lol.

I wrapped the wings and star, gives it a different look compared to the full blackout.

I have a connect that will powder coat all four wheels for $425 and only 24-hour turnaround. I may have him powder coat the brake calipers (red) while he's at it since the wheels will be off anyways.

Have you decided to power coat your wheels? I'm 90% sure I'll pull the trigger within the next couple of weeks.
