I need 4 Mercedes Bundt alloy wheels repainting. I got 2 from one place and 2 from another. They've been refurbished at some point and are all in perfect condition with no repairs needed.
Unfortunately, the 2 pairs are slightly different colours and I want them spot on.
Do refurb places normally charge less for just painting or will I need to pay the full refurb cost?
Can anyone recommend somewhere near Manchester who I can contact to find out?

Put one pair on one side of the car & the other pair on the other?

smile Not a bad shout.

I've had another look and it's more that one set have thicker paint which has rounded of some of the details in the wheel.

In which case probably better to eventually have them all stripped back to bare metal & refinished at the same time.

To get the wheels painted will they not need stripped anyway?
£200 should get you them all painted and looking pristine.
