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.

 

Cost me 37quid to get mine done i polished it up myself

 

powdercoated ? if so thats cheap considering its to be blasted and masked up

 

i could do it for you, asked my boss at work today he said to polish it and coat it gloss black £70 as said before its time consuming to do with all the masking and cutting out

 

i paint strippered mine then 2 pac painted it about 7 years ago and it still fine now.. while it was drying i used a blade to cut over the polished sections and it cut the paint like a sticker.. didnt take long either as im not the most patient person.. so is just cost me the paint..

 

My mate owns a powder coaters..cost me fuckall as I can machine the top.

 

yes mate powdercoated,was blasted then coated,came back like this.

then i removed the coating from the top with a fine flap wheel then polished it

 

Look very nice but i am so shit at polishing! I would never get it back like that!

 

You reckon you can do it? If so PM me your address and i'll send it off to you.

 

pm sent m8

 

Joe stevens got mine done Postbox red £60, woulda been rude not too as i work at RM and like the authentic look .

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

 

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

 

I did a set of 3dr rims with a kit like above and they came up very good

I think i could get one done for about £60 blasted, powdercoated and machined

 

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!

 

Cheers mate only just saw this!
Recieved it last night, going to take some pics of it and put it up for all to see.
Thanks again for an absolutely superb job, it looks factory quality!
