Half a day wheel refurb

[Bobton125]

So i'm giving one of my wheels to a wheel/body repair shop to refurbish the below chips/scuffs.
They haven't seen the wheel yet but have said they will only need me to bring the one wheel (and not the car due to space) and they will be spraying not powdercoating, so to match the other wheels as they presume the wheels are the factory colour.

My question is, they said they will only need the wheel for half a day and then it'll be ready again to collect, which struck me as a bit odd. Is this time frame anything to worry about regarding the quality of the finished job or does it seem normal? Another company has said it'll take 3 days which i thought was more normal?

thanks

Even if they're not perfect factory colour, they have your damaged wheel to match the paint to.

A rub down, coat of primer which will dry in 20 mins and the top coat/lacquer. All done in less than an hour.

Given the tiny ammount of damage I'd say so
30 mins or so to strip paint is they have a shot blaster 1 hour and half or so for filler and sanding including time to harden then few hours to spray and dry in front of heater

So could easily be possible

oh well thats put my mind at ease
There i was thinking it takes the same amount of time as body panels to paint

thanks PH

If you're paying enough for somebody to repair it in half a day and for them to make a living wage from that, then that's how long it will take.
If you wanted to pay enough to cover 3 days worth of wages - then you're a mug

Id need to be charging £900 a wheel if it took me 3 days.
