I know a few people who have used city powder coaters and have been pleased.

[MattH]

It's a good price too iirc.

City Powder Coaters made a  good job on mine, for £80 you cant beat them.

[feebs]

that's what I was thinking

 

you just get the occasional story........

[redcupraboy]

Do they fill and sort out any marks and kerbing marks in the prep at this place?

As I have used the wheel specialist in Brum. But they are dearer than the city powder coaters do may give them a go.

on the clio site - they say they come out look brand new

Tell me more!

 

I have heard loads of people say that they do £20 per wheel, but is this if you take the wheels to them without tyres on??

 

I contacted them about a drive in service as i don't have a spare set of wheels to use while they are working on them, and they said it's £45 per wheel, i can understand why they charge more for that seeing as they have to remove the wheels, remove tyres, and get it done within 5-6 hours, but it's a bit too much

Yea £20 per rim is a no tyres job.

For 120 they remove the tyres

And put it back.

But garage up the road will help if its an issue

That's more like it, I will try and borrow a set of wheels to use while they are off

quote for 300 from a place in tipton :|

[J88 Kev]

Mine are going into here --> http://www.wheelmaniacs.co.uk/ tomorrow been quoted 240 and that is full refurb which involves a chemical dip and a set of wheels to roll around on why they are being done.

 

have come highly recommended to me.

[feebs]

I think I am going to go city powerder coaters

 

for 120 they remove the tyres etc so its worth a try

 

drop off Saturday and collect Thursday.

Go to Rimfurbish, shouldn't be too far away from you. The satin finish on mine is great.

[Fabby]

TJ Wheels in Cradley Heath are worth a try too.

They did a full chemical strip, then powder coated and lacquered. I would say outside was almost perfect, just the odd tiny speck under the lacquer. Inside the rim there was few small lumps of powder, but noting you'd ever notice once fitted.

 

They also had to rub down/ file off some Kerb marks. 

 

I did say I was after a 'show condition refurb' when I booked them in, maybe that helped!

 

They still do it for £20 per rim too!!

I wonder if anywhere near northants would be any where near as competitive as that

 

I'm getting around to doing myself and at that price isn't worth the hassle is it

 

But at £300 odd you must be mad, I'd be keeping an eye on an immaculate set of alloys coming up at that price, I'd continue to referb myself at that rate

russ at midlands car care.

 

dont know why you would go anywhere else
