Wheel refurb/powdercoating/painting

[DannyScene]

Anyone have any recommendations, not hugely bothered about it being a fresh from factory finish but needs to be a reasonably quick turnaround

Most of my mates so far have suggested cas coatings in Idle

How bad are they? I've sprayed my own and a few other peoples with my own gear at home (air compressor, spray guns etc)

If they're corroded to hell and need sand blasting then CAS is a good option, but if not too bad i.e just curbing then I can spray them up for you.

On a slight side note.......

I have a set of alloys I want to get refurbed, but they are the type with a plastic centre cap the covers the bolts.
Which is the best method to colour match paint for the caps, say on a silver finish, if I were to powdercoat the alloys?

Take your freshly coated wheels to a auto paint shop and they 'should' be able to mix you up some paint in rattle can form if they offer that service, or take them to a body repair shop to spray them and ask them to match to wheels.

Ey up mate, sorry to seem rude but I completely forgot I'd posted this topic

They're pretty nasty so I'm going to fire them up to cas coatings this week hopefully

Anyone I ask has recommended them so they must be decent

[gretsch drummer]

No worries man. I've used CAS a few times: Good, cheap and fast. Pay cash and he knocks off the vat.

1 point though, they don't repair curbing etc themselves so it's best to try file/sand any curbing out before sending them in.

Picking them up today, candy purple( noone will miss me now) and I will of course be paying cash

[roystinho]

Is this the place near Greengates? Just got myself a run around with scabby alloys so if it's really cheap... (care to say how much?)

[gretsch drummer]

£1 per inch for non lacquered finish. £1.50 per inch for lacquered finish.

I.e 15" wheel: £15.

Bargain.
