Powder Coaters that can color/texture match?

I bent a wheel last year and would like to know if you have had a good experience with a local powder coater. To avoid extensive costs (removal and installation of 4 tires, and refinishing 4 wheels) I was curious if anyone has dealt with a powder coater that did a good job refinishing one wheel assembly to color match the rest of the wheels (or very close).

I hate to incur over 1k costs to remove/install tires and refinish 4 wheels all for one stupid bent wheel. The wheel in need of refinishing has been repaired, the powder coat finish is the only thing that needs to be done at this point.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Pics of said wheels are below (textured matte gunmetal in color):

Thanks Tin.

One of the Suppliers I use has a service that allows you to match a color, ive never used it,but there is a first time for everything.
 
The paint shop on Ann Arbor Rd? They tried to match my wheels that Kyle did so that I could get a spray can of paint for the center caps. The Krylon color that I found at Pep Boys was closer and wouldn't have cost me $80. I wasn't impressed with their color matching abilities.

No, you submit a sample to the powder coat supplier. Then they do their magic and come up with a match.
