Average cheap arse wheel refurb cost?

[barrym381]

Probably get slated but who gives a sh!t.

Some £1-£2k "cars that need flogging on.

If they look good it helps. Not anything any sort of car enthusiast will buy, the alloys will likely be kerbed in the second week of ownership and they will look better than they do currently. Anything I spend means less profit.

this is were you need to just bite the bullet then an get them done right  if they are powdercoated any customer sticking a pressure wash on then wont take it off but if you paint them chances are they wont last long an that cant be good for your rep  and any wheel company local will surely give you a discount if your sending them enough work

The paint won't come off with an 80,180,240,400 grit sand up then a prime up. Will be 2pak as I'm not buying cellulose as well as 2 pak and 2pak is better anyway.

It will just be done fast which means tiny little indents won't be messed about with for too long.

just go to halfords and but some paint, primer and laquer, doesent cost much.

cost me £8 (Mates rates) for 4 primer, 8 paint & 2 laquer and a fook load of sand paper and wet and dry

took me a day to prep wheels and paint them too a pretty good standard too. wasnt really bothered about them that much cause they were only winter wheels, took them to get new winter tyres on shortly after and said to the guy if the paint scrapes off im not botherd cause there only home painted, came out fine.

cant complain for £8, were still in good condition when i sold them, just the centre caps had a bit of wear from where i stood on one and scraped it along the floow

[thai-wronghorse]

Contact Inspraytion wheel refinishers, they're local to us mate...Strood I believe. They often have discount offers on basic colours for a set of wheels £150.

From £1 an inch for blasted and powdercoated, cheaper than painting them yourself, Better finish too!

Maybe we could save a load of time and start with asking... what answer do you want?

It might be cheap to buy the paint and do it yourself, but if it takes you a day, that means you're not earning money doing anything else in the mean time. It makes paying £200 seem cheap when you look at the bigger picture.
