Good Morning,

I'm looking to get my alloys painted Gunmetal Gray, however i'm not sure which company to go with!

Does anyone know of any good alloy wheel refurb/re-paint companys in the Cannock/Stafford area?

If there is a wheel specialist in your area they are very good (they are in Wolverhampton if that is not too far).  I had mine done by them in the gunmetal grey and they look great.  It is more than a repaint - their process is set out on their website:

They are quite pricey but in my case I asked for a quote and then said no, and then they contacted me by email offering quite a healthy discount.  I had all four done for a bit less than £300 which I was happy with.  They also supplied some really nice metal dustcaps which complement the wheels really well for nothing and did it all inside a single day with the wheels left on the car.

The Wheel Specialist are good, although they work on a franchise basis so there will be good and not so good ones I expect. I have used the Newcastle franchise a few times, most recently this week to put my winter tyres on and also to repair a slight flat spot / buckle on one wheel plus a refurb on it. All that cost £97 including £12 for tyre disposal which wasn't bad although that was discounted.

Thanks for the advice both of you.

They look really good, think I will give them a call tomorrow and I will have to figure out a way of getting back though! Train mabye ... :think:

 

One more question, has anyone done Gunmetal gray alloys on a black Octy? If so, does it look good?

I like the effect on a Black octy which is what I have.  My profile pic isn't the best but may be gives you an idea?

Ye they are slightly of set to the black which looks sweet!! I have booked my car in with JP Alloys (got a mate who know someone who works there, Discount YaY!!  ) next week.

 

Thanks for the advise, much appricated!   

 

Will be posting a few images soon, befores and afters!

£200 for them powder coated in west brom
