Thanks for your reply! I've already had another recommendation for prestige powder coatings so they sound promising, but I'll also take a look at romax. I live in yarm so portrack is only 10-15 minutes away!
Cheers!

Right, just want to resurrect my own thread here...
I have chosen to go for anthracite/gun metal grey in a satin finish over gloss. I have until Wednesday to change my mind though...
It's so hard choosing a colour since I can't find any images of my alloys in another colour other than silver or black
I'm just a little concerned as to wether satin is the right choice! We shall see soon enough...

Sorry to resurrect this one again - Thinking about getting my wheels re-sprayed/powder coated. Something i've never done before, we talking about £50 a wheel then? Anyone recommend somewhere in the midlands? I'm assuming powder coating is the best way?
I have a picture somewhere of a set of K1 wheels I had and got one of them powder coated in gloss black to see what powder coating was like. I can see if I can find it if you want to have a look.
Yeah that would be good - also how much did it cost? Like the standard wheels on it (would probably get ripped on here for sticking with them tho!) but saw someone at the place I was getting it mapped and looked really nice in gun metal on the same colour body
I got the one wheel done at a place near me for £40 if I would have had them all done at the same time it would have cost £35 for each wheel which I think is quite good.

That looks good! Fairly hardwearing? i've just got the normal 5 spoke (non-split spokes) on mine, silver at the mo but i'm thinking darker would look better. £140 for the lot seems decent!
Yea the powder coating was good quality and hardwearing well worth ago if you can find someone cheap to do a good job.
They look really smart in white. I'm not sure whether to get my FL Cupra wheels done in white or silver. Might give that plasti-dip a go perhaps

Have a look at City Powder Coating in Digbeth, Birmingham. They do the wheels for about £20 each ans about £30 if you want them to put the tyres back on and balance them.

Have a black leon as per my profile pic... Looking at getting my four wheels refurbed so thinking a change of colour... Anyone got any pics of a black car with gunmetal or somthing similar? Just want to get away from the standard colour but dont want to go too mad
Here's a link with my very old, but refurbed wheels.

Haha, yeah i have two sets of alloy wheels so i was able to leave one set at the refurbs.
Why don't you give the ones in Birmingham (ciytpowdercoating) a call as they do the one day service....drop off at 8am, do some shopping around town/catch a movie then pick it up at 5pm...job done!
