Powder Coating Black/Silver to Grey 792M Wheels

I know nothing about powder coating. Anyone have experience or opinions on powder coating from black to cerium grey (or similar)?

In my case I have the new 2023 792M black/silver wheels and I'm interested in the previous cerium grey/silver wheels (not a fan of black wheels). Looking for options.

To clarify, I have these:

I want them to match these:

Any input would be appreciated!

I had my 898M powder coated in gold this season.
Cleaning is very easy.
Iīm still thinking about coating them again next season, because the outcome isnīt 100% what i wanted.
Just be sure to choose a three layer coating.
Base layer, color layer and clear finish.
The finish can be semi-gloss to match the original 792M cerium grey.

Just shows how we are never content with what we have. I had the grey and always wanted the black version because in black, to me, they look similar to the former M3/M4 wheels. But I was too lazy to get these done. Rocketman, since you are SO CAL, I have always taken my wheels to Son Tran in Garden Grove. Whether for wifeys curb rash or other wheels, BMW, Audi and Porsche where I wanted to modify the color. In some cases, little painting to highlight and in other cases, complete transformation. If you see his shop, you wont be impressed but if you see his work, amazing stuff. 714-742-6855. If you call, you send him pics and he will estimate for you or if close enough, drive over and show him. He doesnt do powder coat, only paint but really amazingly professional work.
