Dynamic Turtle Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Scuffed one of my Nismo alloys quite badly at the weekend - not a deep chunk just half a mill of rim scratches across the circumference with attendant paint loss. Colour matching these is a nightmare and I need someone who can do a good job. Also might want them to repaint the horrid bright silver alloys on my new skoda a darker shade of anthracite or titanium, they look a bit too chinese at the moment...

Ricey Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Make sure you ask whomever you chose how they will paint the wheel (rattle can or spray gun) and what type of lacquer they are using (you want to hear 2k) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) A lot of refurb outfits won't touch this kind of finish with a barge pole - as you say, it's very difficult to get a perfect match. You might have to get both wheels on the same side done. I've read good things about these guys if you don't mind the journey. http://thewheelwizard.ltd.uk/ Edited February 8, 2016 by sipar69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 OK so I used wheel doctor who took one look at the Nismo alloys and said there was no way he could get a good enough colour match on them. They have to go in for specialist treatment ARGH! He did a good job on the BMW alloy though for £65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
