Not another paint vs powdercoat thread!

Hi Guys,
Just wondering as to whether anyone knows a great and cheap powdercoater in the Sydney Metro area? I am about to acquire a second set of stock GenII rims and am thinking of a colour change just for that set. My GenII is silver, and I am thinking either a matt black or GTR Gun Grey as shown below. One of the wheels will require a 2cm fine rash repair. Can they do this too?

Thoughts or suggestions on colours are totally welcome. If someone is hot at Photoshop and can show me either wheel colours, that would be awesome.

For colour choices already done, and I've been told to paint rather than powercoat?????

I think out of that selection, the bottom right in the gun grey will look awesome on a silver GenII

Here are some really quick chops, low res photo, better res would look better

also look on the american mps site (google it), there is a guy who painted his wheels graphite and has an alum gen 2, looks sick as.
