Wheel Refurb

[Husbandofstinky]

I picked up a set for the Pug yesterday evening and was quite impressed by the results.

All I can say is don't expect perfection, just as with any spray job if you really analyse it, the job cannot beat an original factory finish.

Hand on heart I think most sprayers would agree to it.

Proper job done (blasted/dipped/repaired/sprayed and cooked) came in at £55 per wheel (cash).

There are a few pimples here and there on the shiny side in the lacquer but still very happy with the job.

I can see where the OPis coming from with wanting to borrow some wheels so as not to need toleave his car at the wheel shop.

I have dropped my car off today to get the wheels done. I was very worried about leaving the car all day at some strange place and my car getting damaged by some scroat bashing their door against it.

I really hope my worrys were unfounded, When I dropped the car off the guy went round it with a sheet and attempted to find some damage of any kind, we both then signed the sheet to say that the car was damage free. they even checked the jacking points/under the floor so as to cover their arse about under car damage, then they told me that my car would be under a cover to keep any dust ect off of the paintwork.

They say that because my wheels will be black that they even use black ballancing weights

We talked about the various centre cap options etc.

In all I am quite impressed with the service so far, All being well I will have 4 nice gloss black wheels at about 17:00 today.

The company I'm using is here>>>>>http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/?adw&gclid=CJvs8v7czqECFVgA4wodjBYrJg

A friend of mine's just had his K1 Cupra wheels sprayed satin black.

It really goes well with the white bodywork.

If it's the one in Segensworth my brother-in-law had his wheels done there and they did a cracking job

I've decided on speedwells as there going to keep the car for the night, which was the problem as I couldn't find anywhere that would do this for a resonable price, I personally think the the wheel specialist are expensive at about £280 when speedwells are doinf it for £100 less. Just got to wait till my week off work in June to get them now and decide on gloss or satin black!

If you don't mind me asking, how much are you paying nath?
