Refurbishing a Dark Chrome Alloy

Featured Replies

Hi I think this may have been done before but today I kerbed my Dark Chrome Alloy and wondered how easy and successfully they can be done.

The damage to mine is only on the rim but covers over half of the wheel, I sure it is not serious but cosmetically it looks bad and I'm sure after time moisture will get under the paint.

Can anyone who has had work done on their Dark Chrome Alloy let me know how good it was and of cause the cost and who done it for you.

Where do u live mate. I have a friend who does full refurbs for £20-£30 per wheel. If u interested just PM me. Matty

Spit and Polish will do it for £40 - based in Tonbridge, Kent.

They will re-cut the face as its sounds like that is the bit damaged.

Well mines gone off to a company called Lepsons in Gillingham, they strip them right back, repair, re- cut, paint and lacquer. I hope it should come back as good as new.

Lepsons are one of the best in the business. They have one in Swindon as well. Did you send them the tyre and alloy or leave your car with them?

Well I didn't get it back until today as they had to get the black paint ordered but it is a fantastic job, as good as new. Not the cheapest but as my car is only 3 months old it had to have the best.

Glad it's a good job, Lepsons have one of my Dark Chromes. I dont mind paying the price for a top job.

You won't be disappointed

You'll struggle to find anyone who has a bad word to say against Lepsons. Pricey but the best.

Take it you went to the Swindon one Jammy?

Yes I did, I was recommended Lepsons in kent, it was only when i researched them on the internet that i realised they had a shop in swindon.
