let me know if you like or even if u just think im nuts

Yea get some bigger pictures up

If you dont mind me asking how much does referb cost?

i did them myself mate.
was £10 to get them dipped(to remove the old powder coat)
then £15 tho get them shot blasted.
then cost me £10 to get them powder coated again!
plus £5 for a tube of quicksteel putty to fill the scrapes!

normal alloys dont need dippin unless you allready refurbed them once like me lol!

oh all prices are per wheel!

i dont know what powder coating ur thinking off but in my experiance its impossible to chip, as its more of a material than a solid.
stands upto a good beating to unlike paints. this stuff doesnt peel either even if u give it a big scuff,bloody nightmare to get off, thats why i had to have them chemicaly dipped.

never had anything else done accept wheels, never had a problem with them. wud recomend to any1.

i wudnt of thought haveing anything done that warms up wud be a good idear tho to be honest. as the powder is melted on in the first place lol.

oh right,nice to know.
i stil love my wheels and i still think powder coating is the way to go, thanks for the info tho, probly saved me some cash

The quick steel putty. Is it any good? Is it easy to work? Where do you get it from? Please as I have some old wheels about that I'd like to sort out.

just comes in a little tube, i got it from wilcos, takes 30 seconds to mix in ur hand and easy to apply. and it easy to sand down when its set take 20 mins.
i used a normal metal file to do it. u need to use it if u are considering powder coating. when they heat ur wheels up the other stuff falls off lol.
hope this helps

Thank you much help!!!
