Emailed a couple of companies on this to get prices, but I was also wandering if anyone on here does these as a sideline?
Nothing fancy needing done, just a 4x4 cover to be blasted and re-done in black (powder coat for longer lasting finish) and the top skimmed to reveal the bare metal and lettering again.

i work at a powder coaters just done mine, carnt skim the top tho i polished mine and masked it off, silver metal flake and candy blue. time consuming to do really with all the masking and cutting out

I got mine done by R&B years ago. Still looks really good, even now.... Prices should be on the website.

Cheers, yes I did toy with the idea of doing it myself, but I dont want the hassle of spending ages getting it looking great by spraying it and then a few months later it looks cack and I have to do it all again.

Did my 1st one years ago in smooth Hammerite, lasted ages... Thinking of doing it again, getting bored with it after 5 years!

How do you get the wheels to take the bars? I cant seem to do it

cozzy jeff

Spin the wheel in your drill and push it into the bar.

on its way back to you m8 but if you carnt wait a little pic for you
stripped cleaned coated refaced and lacquered

Looks really good! Liking them in black... Top job that!!

Think I've chosen my new colour, although,as its been done twice already, starting to loose detail on the Ford badge, from previous machining.... Might just have to spray it an hope for the best!
