Powder coating - Chri5 - 07-12-2018
Ok. Just found my drift wheels
But they are in need of a good refurb so was going to do that and paint them a nice lairy colour.
Was thinking either
Candy red
Bright fuscia
Or maybe ???
What's anybody think and more importantly can anybody recommend a reasonable powder coater???
Here's the wheels which are a bit **** but quite wide 8.5j and 9.5j x17" so hopefully they'll fit without too much hassle.

And here is the car if somebody could maybe Photoshop them for me???

Candy Red chris, but can you powder coat candy finish?? as it is the way its applied that gives it the effect.

Tbh Phil I don't know??
I'll see what they say. Or I'll look into getting them painted.
But I prefered the idea of powder as it should be harder and give a better finish???
I've called 2 places today and neither seemed phased by the colour.
Huge difference in cost tho
Place in Thornton Heath £45-£55 per wheel
Place in Wrsterham £80-£90 per wheel
Phil could you ask your friend if he does wheels plz

Gord Wooooow the place near me is £160 for all 4 wheels
Thats worth the cost of a courier.
