if you rub em down to bear metal i can get em done cheap

cossiecrew

Doug,
Im not the cheapest, but certainly the best finish I have seen - Ł40 per wheel (18"). This is because they are dipped and stripped and returned back to bare metal, before being powder coated.

cossiecrew......Used to use Spit & Polish (comany in Essex)......they were cheap(ish) - but quite expensive nowadays

Doug,
You know my motto - do it once and do it right . What's the point in paying a few quid less for an inferior finish that will need doing again after a short period of time, or will look shonky .

clutch fitted anyway..........

Rod,
How long is a piece of string ? Would have to see the wheels first - mail me some close up pictures. Again, if the needed beed-blasting or dipping and stripping and prepping before being painted, then still no change from Ł40 per wheel.

i work as a manager of a shotblasters
we would charge ya Ł25per wheel
thats for blast back to bare metal
then powdercoat /lacquer

cossiestu

Whats the best way to blast ally's??

Would sand / shot blasting be too harsh?

Stu,
The "shot" comes in all sorts of sizes to suit what-ever application....

RS__vanman

if they are powdercoated then unless you have a acid
type stripper blasting is the only way to get them clean

we blast with a mild steel grit grade go7
this dont damage the wheel just strips it
we do hundreds and never fecked 1 yet and ive been there
15 yrs

cossiestu

Im no expert here, does it show??!!

Doug

i too can get it done for Ł25 per wheel (shot blasting to clean prep and primer then coat)

any colour of your choice

if you require a fancy nice mettalic etc it would be extra Ł10 for a litre of paint i got phil'ms rocker cover done in the orrible purple

B19-TRB

what abouit crackle finshed wheels!?

CraigN

i can do black crackle and any plain colour crackle

cant do mettalic or fancy colours on crackle tho

Craig, good price - but is is that for powder coating?????? .........as I dont want wet paint

Mike Rainbird

Doug,
I would also point out that these finishes are all metallic and that a base colour would be fractionally cheaper... Could also do a black chrome effect powder coating that would look the tits on multi-spoked wheels, but this is Ł60 per wheel .

I'm confused now, too many options lol.

Want the colour shown below (grey metalic - same colour as Range Rover Vogue wheels) Deffo NOT as dark as anthracite.......BUT durable finnish not after a bling finnish...........I think

CozzyBrom
