Restoring alloy wheels? - JTaylor2005 - 24-04-2015
I have a set of alloys I am going to restore. Am I right in thinking I need to follow this procedure?
Sand, smooth out, filler and sand, etch primer, high build primer, flat, regular primer, paint, lacquer?
Thanks, Jack

Or just pay a reputable place to do them lol
it's definately worth considering depending on your costs to do them yourself
RE: Restoring alloy wheels? - JTaylor2005 - 24-04-2015
My costs will be a lot less than a reputable place haha

Depending where you shop, it can cost nearly £15/wheel for materials while you can get them done professionally for around £20/wheel.
Plus i have zero patience for restoring lol

anywhere in Devon do wheels at £20 a go?
RE: Restoring alloy wheels? - JTaylor2005 - 24-04-2015
Dont think I have ever heard of a place that will refurb a wheel for £15 each haha. Not somewhere that would do any level of quality

Anywhere in England do them at £20 a go!? I was quoted about £50 just to fix a bit of kerbing and spray one wheel...

Mobile place around here charges £30 a wheel for 17s.. Bloody good job aswell
RE: Restoring alloy wheels? - Toms306 - 24-04-2015
Not a national chain I guess?

Citypowdercoaters in Birmingham have been doing them for £20/wheel since i can remember. Cant complain at that price
RE: Restoring alloy wheels? - JTaylor2005 - 24-04-2015
They won't do mine for that price and do a good job haha. They don't filler or anything just blast and powder coat haha. Covers nothing damage wise really
