hotrodholty Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Posted October 9, 2008 What sort of size parts is it you want doing mate?? 4 steel wheels
mk1mexico Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 PMSl at the above, i can get small bits done at work, but wheels will be too big for our machine. And i can only do black
Retro-gone. Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 ps i can get em done up here if thats any good, or i can paint em 4 ya, im doing 4 banded steelies for antz at mo..
hotrodholty Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Posted October 9, 2008 thnaks for the offer's lads. iv just searched on yell.com and found a place about 15mins away. £10 per wheel, done that day, i think it sounds cheap, what ye reckon?. is there anything i should ask/look out for, iv never had powder coating done before, i believe its a bit more hard wearing than paint. is this true?
Copey Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 there is a place that re-furbs alloy wheels in southport, they may be able to help, i will see if i can get ther info for you if you like

Retro-gone. Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 if they blast them itl be fine, im just too oldskool for my own good sometimes.. its just that when someone asks me "did you do that yourself"? i like to say "yep, sure did" so to save a lot of pissin about take em for coating
