Preperation is important. What are you painting, chrome or polished wheels?
A good chemical acid etching is important to give a rough surface for the paint to stick to. In my area not many paint shops are set up for powder coating.

Flip, Try StreetStylz in St. Charles. If they don't do it, they might know someone who does.
