How much to get a body shop to paint a set of wheels? I will be doing some prep and high build primer I will just need a body shop to spray them silver?

Will they do it, and what would it cost?? Am I better leaving prep to body shop, if that's the case then I'm likely to get into refurb cost territory

 

A friend of mine had his RS turbo alloys refurbed for Ł50 a wheel.

If that helps.

Just go in and ask them, sure you'll cut out some of the cost prepping yourself but if they don't turn out too well they'll obviously say it's down to your prep work.

 

Local place does full dip blast and coat for less than 50 a wheel. Was just wondering what cost to spray as if its 50 quid a set then I'll do it.....or am I in cuckoo land

 

To be honest, if you are paying for a pro to lay the top coat down, then I'd let them do the lot. If something happens to the wheel then they will just blame your prep work.

I have painted a few sets of wheels in the past and to be honest by the time you have bought all the materials and with the time taken to do it, you may as well just get a pro to do them for you!

 

Just an alternative to consider....
City powdercoating in Brum only charge Ł20 per wheel.

 

I have a good mate with a mobile paint shop who does body and wheels and very few like him want to touch others work as its their business and time so the price with prep included

 

Do you know what he charges for a set?

 

Shame they are so far

Great price

 

i would get them powdercoated it lasts a hell of a lot longer on wheels than paint does and usually works out cheaper

 

place in watford does them powdercoated for Ł130 if tyres are removed or Ł160 if tyres are left on as for my mate hes the same but thats painting

 

The cab can be new or good used one. What would the price be?(even a close guess on price)
