Wheel repainting

[AndyT77]

Typically how long does it take to have a set of 4 wheels repainted? Wheels in question are OEM MINI Cooper S 'flame' 17" and would be wanted them painted black.

1-2 Days for a decent job

Really, I'd have said 5-6 hrs.

Spit 'n Polish in Tonbridge, Kent do it over a couple of days.

They do dip the wheels though, to fully strip them before repainting. I had mine done and was delighted with the quality of the job.

And in terms of cost, 4 x 18" came to about £320 from memory, with replacement centre caps and little M badges bringing the total to £370.

HTH,

Thanks, just completed an online quote request with their Ellesmere Port branch, the missus could spend all day shopping at Cheshire Oaks whilst they're done!

you could have paid to ship them to my brothers company http://fifepowdercoating.com/ and still had them done a fair bit cheaper.guaranteed for 1 year,unless diamond cut .he sends wheels all over the uk and ireland.

Giving the paint time to cure, before putting the tyres back on.

Painting the wheels wouldn't take long to be ensure the best finish a day or so cure time would be beneficial.

I got mine powder coated for my GT4 and it was a super job
