SBC Coating in SoCal?

I need help finding a place that can do SBC coating for wheels and other parts. I'm not too sure what type of coating it is. It does look like black chrome but I'm not sure if it is the same process and materials. Thanks! Looking to find a shop around SoCal since shipping will just add to the cost.

Look is similar to Black chrome, but done with paint instead of plating.

Peep this place out bro http://www.powder1.com/index.html

Its in El Cajon San Diego.. pretty much every color, type of finish u can think of.

The SBC finish is also refered to as "powder coat chrome" or "powder coat black chrome"

Its powder coated as in baked not painted. Much more durable than any paint

i'm 99% sure that all sbc is paint. that's really a generic term though so some wheels may be different. it looks like black chrome because it is metal particles dusted over a black base coat.

alsa's mirrachrome is the same type of finish, anywhere that can paint should be able to do it. i actually bought the aerosol can version (with 2 component clear) to mess around with.
