Painted OEMs?

I just got quoted $1200 ($300 per wheel) to paint my 19" wheels that are mounted on the car. It would be in their shop for 2 days, dismounted, color matched to OB, and painted all the way through. Also sanded down to repair any curb rash and cleaned, + clear coat.

Is this a good quote or should I look elsewhere?

FFFFFFFkkkkkkk, that is a rip. You can buy a set of 19" Concept One wheels from B2 on here or some Tenzo wheels for that much, in black.

Get them powdercoated. If they say 300$ or more for powder, I'd look elsewhere. I've worked in powdercoating in the past and it doesn't cost a shop 300$ to paint them especially if they are using a common color and don't have to set up anything special to do them.

I see a set for sale too, already painted. I might go that route and buy used, then sell my Chrome 19" OEMs. I'd kinda feel like an ******* painting over the chrome Rays anyways.

Thanks for lookin out, guys.
