2 places I would try ...

1) would be a local spray shop ... They should be able to do it for ya...
2) look up a powder coater, as that would be better then just paint...

There is not too much representation from Tassie, so I don't think you will find much help ... But I know that my local Bob Jane Tyres has a guy that he uses for wheel repair and painting ... Not sure if you have Bob Janes down there...

9 month waiting list ... Man, you can have a kid which would fill in that time... :lol:

Yeah, so maybe just go to a powder coater... If the rims are in good condition, they probably wont need any prep work done to them ... So yeah, or wait the 9 months ...
