Never heard of them, get them refurb in a dark grey and I think they will look fine.

Post by: boneybradley on 15 April 2013, 22:18: if your not doing them check out powder coating... seems to be harder wearing than spraying (I know a place oop north that will do them for £25 each)

Where up north and is that price including blast or acid etc?... sounds like a just powdercoat price?

no just filler and paint but ive just started a job a motorbike insurance company called 4th dimension they have there own repair centre the sprayer said he will do 4 wheels for 100 quid and instead of using filler for the scuffs they weld over the scufss on the rim and grind it flat which sounds like a better idea than chemical metal or filler

this is one of a few places http://www.cascoatings.com/ (http://www.cascoatings.com/) but I have heard about a cheaper place in Bradford that shot blasts and powder coats 4 wheels for £100
