Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

[Mr ZS180]

Maybe a bit of a noob question but when you go to one of these powdercoater refurbishers do they base the price on the work they have to do ie if they have to fully strip the wheel of paint etc then treat corrosion and kerbing does it cost more than just a simple powdercoat?

The only one I know of near me is Maxpowder and I heard they charge ?50 minimum per wheel so I was looking for somewhere cheaper for mine!

Mine will be a long term project so i'll have to look for somewhere else where they can do a thorough job. Any other suggestions locally to Burton/Derby/Tamworth etc that any one can recommend?

Yeah it does normally depend on how bad your wheels are. Well the ones round here do anyway. If you find somewhere that have an all in price then that's great! Good Luck!!

Thats what they charged me for my MK2 elevan spoke's. I too have heard a variety of tales regarding paint refurbers in the birmingham area. Mostly that the finish is *****. far better off with a powder coated finish. The only neg i can say is i recently saw a set of powder coated alloys on a zed with cheap after market drilled and grooved disks and they'de made a right old mess of the inside of the alloy. loads of contaminents imbedded in the powder coat.
