Recommendations for a low temperature powdercoater

Can you guys recommend a place in the GVA that does low temperature powder coating (that ensures 250F or lower curing step) for some forged wheels?

I think the the preferred method is painting. Power coating seems to be to brittle.

Did you have to take the wheels elsewhere to get them sandblasted first?

Surf tech did everything, from stripping the wheels to powder coating them.

They do anodizing as well
