Has anyone changed the colour of their alloy wheels.
If so are you satisfied with the results and which is the best process.
I am thinking of say from silver to graphite or black (possibly matt finish).
Any recommendations of companies in north London welcome.
The car is a DB9 volante,just for the record.

I've had the wheels on my Focus RS painted gloss black and they look brilliant. Lepsons in Gillingham did the work and, while not the cheapest, the finish is better than OEM.

From boring old silver to this...



Wet painted, which imo gives far superior results to any powder coating I've ever seen.

Acid dipped and then sprayed with standard MG ZR Trophy Yellow car paint and laquer.

Done over a year ago and no ill effects

Nice one lexusboy,very subtle.
Do not let nasty comments of others concern you.
Thank you for posting, colour might suit my tango orange DB9 volante.
