Would get the handles done at the same time!! Mark - while you got your photoshop head on! can you do the rest of the wheel black (behind spoke) and just leave the polished rim - also would be good to see in gloss - cheers fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 All black Or just the bit behind the rims leaving the polished rim (not the best chop but not that easy to do!!) Quite hard to do gloss too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Actually the first one on the 2nd lot with the pin stripe on the front wheel dosnt look too bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 second pic looks very cheers matey No worries mate! That option may be easier for the wheel painters to do too!! Easier to mask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Voted to leave the lip and paint the spokes black. As per other thread, take it somewhere good to get them done. Wont be cheap as they will powercoat the wheel and re-do the polished lip before re-laquering the lot. Dont get them to mask and wet paint it, I learnt my lesson with that, finish isnt anywhere near as durable. Spit & Polish or Lepsons will do the job properly, but wont be the cheapest - do it once, do it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepsons are near my parents down the coast, and I am going down there today, so might pop in! Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunGodRA Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Just had a quote from Spit and Polish - powdercoat or wet, with polished rim, laquer £291 inc vat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Just had a quote from Spit and Polish - powdercoat or wet, with polished rim, laquer £291 inc vat Is that for all 4, inc tyre removal, putting them back on, balancing them again etc? TBH thats not a bad price from them. It will be far far better than any wheel finish you will get from any OEM, better than Volks/Rays etc too. Trust me, find the money and get it done right, they will look amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
