Ahhh where my tyres gone !?


Nah... Removed my wheels as they're going for powdercoating tomorrow - CAS Coatings, Bradford = Unbelievably cheap for powdercoating.

I always thought to go black as my roofs going black and the B pillar/mirror caps.

What you guys think, Car looks like this at mo:

Haha i bought a set of Genuine R32 wheels off an R that binned it, thats the bad un. I use it to jack car on ect..

OR it could be my extreme measures for weight reduction !

Aye black has always been the plan, But there so many options, Gloss, Satin, Black magic....

I think sparkles ect.. in the paint looks too flashy/gay - A straight colour i think, whats difference between satin/gloss?

satin doesn't have the shine that gloss does. but its not quite matt if i'm correct...

Hmm ok somewhere in between then... Gloss seems best option then.

Any people who want there wheels coated who hasn't seen the price of these guys should look. They're doing my 18" rims for £18 a wheel, can't even buy the paint to do it myself for that price. I'll post pics when they're done.

That is a blimming good price and you cant go wrong at that can you.

Do thay do re-ferbing also or just powder coating?

Cleaning is definately isn't my strong point, every picture its dirty.

I think i'm off with Matt. I wish i knew how to photoshop then i'd be able to see. Im off hunting for general mk4 pics of both

Just dropped them off at CAS, Decent guys, very busy as you can expect.

They said they'd be ready friday so i will update then ! :D

Oh and despite what i said, i asked for Matt black, Apparantly Satin is the closest powdercoat so im having that.

£68?!?!?

is that same price for powder coating any 1 piece 18s do you know? Painting mine seems pointless if i can get them 'coated for that
Title: Re: Pikeys Stole My Tyres ! Wheel Refurb
Post by: Purely VAG on 19 March 2010, 21:30
Mate i was going to repair/paint mine and paint/filler came up to £100.

Hence i jumped when i seen they did it that cheap, they powdercoat anything really. And wheels are priced depending on size but 18" should be £18 a wheel so its a bargain

Powdercoat is more durable than paint and indeed thanks for giving me heads up.

You can have a look and see how good they are anyhow.
