I'm taking mine to city powder coaters soon. Do they do the whole wheel or just the face?

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.
