mattbowey Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 i just got a quote today to get my wheels and door handles sprayed black. pro job, 255 squid for the lot. gloss finish, think i would prefer a mat finish but apparently is harder to match them up well. this ound about right to everyone or a rip off?

Neilp Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'd go for satin finish. Gloss can be too shiny sometimes. Satin is an inbetween i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Its a good price but you can pay £40-£45 per wheel to powdercoat the wheels and get the handles painted together with ?roof ?mirrors etc as a job lot for about the same or less . The point i want to make is that PC is far more durable than painting and so its worth considering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 got mine powder coated satin black for £210 most places round me charge £75 a wheel ex VAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busa1300 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 it's costing me £320 to have my wheels powder coated that includes tyre removal/ refitted and balanced. Powder coating is a much better and will last a lot longer, mine are going to be acid dipped then bead blasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dene8 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 My Nismo's are Gloss black Matt, you'll get to see them on Sunday Cost me £300.00 to get them done, same day turn-around with a courtesy car for the day So the price you got quoted seems pretty good to me..............

Will put some pics up when i get a chance without laquer that won't last long, give it one good winter and they look shocking. for matt finishes yuo can get a clear coat to spray on. it protects the paint and gives a harder finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Does that price include them removing and refitting the tyres? If so its a good price, If not then its slightly expensive IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodyboarder Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Ya know what you are saying, what laquer should i put on so as to keep them looking mat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 i think its called a clear coat. never sprayed a matt finish so never used it. might be worth a google. and then try a tester on something old before putting it on what you already sprayed.
