Painting your Rims

Anyone know where I should even look to find actual places to get something like this done?


I'm in the Madison, WI/Milwaukee/Chicago area.


Also is this something they do over a few hours or should i plan on leaving the rims there for a few days?


thanks for the help guys

Definitely plan on leaving them for a few days. It takes a while to spray rims, then it takes time for the paint to dry and cure.

Call some of the local custom and/or hotrod shops to see where they get them done.
