Kerbed Volk

[clarkie34]

I think Volks customer service leaves alot to be desired.I have a guy who I have used before coming Friday morn who deals with BMW,Porsche etc.He has refurbed standard wheels with no trace and seems to think he can match it from what I have told him,fingers crossed.

sorry to read his wayne, your not having much look at the mo.

 

 

another place to try is national alloys http://www.nationalalloys.co.uk/ in Widnes, Cheshire

 

had mine refurbed there.

 

there is a chap they get in who does more of the specialist work called Mark White. You need to chat to him

Thanks Mike.

 

Will see what they guy I have used before comes up with Friday,would be nice to get it sorted before the show on Saturday.

Nooooooooooo

 

I tried getting a paint code for my red lip when I kerbed mine but got nothing out of them

[geoff-r]

Even with todays technology, you cant get a machine somewhere that can tell u the paint? Geezo, very shady of volk.

 

You can get a machine that does this, it takes loads of photos of the paint, analyses them and produces the correct colour. As for Volk not releasing paint codes, that's mainly down to immitation companies that could tarnish the name. You wanna try get replacement stickers for TE37's and the such, you can't simply buy them from Volk, you have to produce documents, photos etc!

I understand about doing copies,but when one of their UK distributors asks for help for one of it's customers they could at least send a sample pot out.

Panic over.

 

Martin of Assessment Services came to the rescue this morn,took him about 7 coats of pearl mattalic to match it.I have been on my hands and knees looking and cant see any difference and all for £50.

 

Before.

 

After.

 

I got chatting to him and he also does interior trim painting e.g piano black or other different colours.

 

Just need to get cleaning now for tomorrow.

Yeah I was thinking the same! I'll be seriously pee'd off if I spend all day cleaning it to wake up in the morning to find it covered in crap
