Wheel paint?

[pittersuk]

Hi im looking to get my alloys painted or sprayed a different colour does anyone know of anywhere that does this?

[top brake]

yep my mate at signwerx in Glos can get wheels powder coated for ya call 07752659231 and ask for Adam

i work in Clevedon so can collect

[pittersuk]

How much would it roughly cost?

Generally powder coating can give a slightly dull effect - it depends what finish you are after??

If it's a repair/repaint you are after I can do a complete wheel refresh in the colour of your choice for £150 all in, that's the wheels stripped, refinished then rebuilt, balanced etc.

24 hr turnaround.

Wicked sounds good to me, just i have to save the pennies first im a poor student at the mo im hoping to get them done before the summer.
Would u do student discount lol!

[Corin Denton]

Would love to but I get charged £120 for the wheels alone, the extra £30 hardly covers the rest of it logistics, stripping, balancing and even secure storage of the car if required etc.

Just trying to help a fellow PHer!

Thats cool i understand, i just wanted to get an idea of what it would cost. Ill probably get them done in july. Ill let you know in the near future if its ok.

Cheers

Do you turn them up on a lathe and refinish them to factory spec? If so I can let you do my car ASAP?

They are not turned up but a proprieter of a local bodyshop who is also a client of mine has the correct compound kits for alloy wheel repair, they are then painted/low baked in 2 pack paint.

A friend of mine had a set of AMGs done last week and they looked superb.

It's not something I am promoting just something we can do to help a PHer.

What's the deal with these compounds? My worry with turning the wheel is that it takes off an awful lot of metal to remove deep gouges, and my worry with compounds is that they are basically just filler which will fall out in a short period of time. This is a car I intend to keep. What do you recommend, honestly?

[Corin Denton]

The filling compounds are denser to resemble the rough related weight of alloy.

It's all a matter of personal preference although I would steer away from milling wheels.
