#17: Re: the wheel specialist? Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 9:01 am ---- I'm guessing they refurb them aswell as painting lol, how long does it take them to do 4 wheels?
#18: Re: the wheel specialist? Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 9:16 am ---- a week.... well they shot blast them so it removes a lot a surface scratches and they have loads of colours to choose from there the second set of wheels there and the only thing i can fault is that i dont think these are as glossy as my old ones but its still a great job for 80 quid
#19: Re: the wheel specialist? Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 9:25 am ---- I'd have to leave my car on axle stands for a week lol, don't have a 2nd set

wel...
you will need to strip the tyre yourself and then re-fit+balance them...
not everyone got the tools to do it so i would say 190 difference?
and petrol money+time.....
plus if you bad is quite in bad shape city powdercoat is not your first choices really.....
they do the tyres themselves for an extra £5 a corner
plus. whats wrong with a £190 difference?
did you read my reply?
shot blasting+powder coated=/= full refurb.
and i can get just shot blasting+powder coated cheaper than city powdercoater and just as good as them.
badly kerb alloy/ scrup will not give good finished with just
shot blasting+powder coated.
a proper full refurb is not just strip away the paint and repaint them.
they will fill any deep scratch, sand them down and then respray.
that's why i ask the opener how is the condition of his alloy. if they are really bad then their is no point to cut the corner.
a cheap job is just can't compare to a proper job.

yes i read your reply..
im not saying its the same as a full refurb..
was just trying to save the OP a few quid as he was asking about his quote.
many people on here will tell you that city powdercoaters do a fantastic job for the price.
i dont care if you can get powdercoating cheaper..
to be quite honest this is a ridiculous argument.
OP: in answer to your question, that is pretty overpriced, if your wheels arent too bad i recommend city powdercoaters in birmingham.
