Woody Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi all, I want to get my wheels gloss black. Now the only pros around the area are going to charge £200 to do it. I know this is quite a good price, but I cant afford it at the moment. I lad who I know is just starting up his own spraying company and is charging £60 any colour, any size for a wet spray. I know this isnt as good as powder coating, but as that price I can get it done now. My question is.... Will a wet spray invlove baking of the wheel? As the forged wheel as to be done at a certain temp to avoid cracking. Is there anything else I need to be aware of? Cheers Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 wet spray is more recomended than powdercoating as it will not involve baking at temperatures wich can lead to wheel damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounty78 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 £60 all in That is as cheap as chips. Are u sure that is not the price quoted for each wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Personally i'd save my money, winter is coming and the wet paint is going to take a beating and possibly look a bit rough in the spring. save up over winter and have them done properly by a powder coater in the spring. then they will last alot longer. i've go tnew wheel and they need a refurb, but i'm not going to bother until next year as the crap weather will ruin the new paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Its 100% £60 all in. Yeh he is stripping it first. TBH Im looking to get a set of nice alloys sometime next year, these will be my winter ones. I will most likely be getting them powdercoated summertime next year also. I just thought for £60 all in, Id give it ago and see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
