Dent/damage removal?

[General Dave]

Two days, but longer if I want wheels done.. may save the wheels for another time! I dont have a spare car so i'm going to struggle!

Yeah sucks being without a car, I look forward to seeing the pics when it's done.

Haha sadly not! They want £70 per wheel which is cheap enough, just poor atm. Shall decide by end of day.

What would you say is cheap?

 

[imprezaworks]

£45 is what the company we use charge

Poorer quality of life up north though!

Just spoke to them and tried to get it for £250 cash but they outsource them now and pay £70 per wheel anyway (I had haggled from £80).

 

[imprezaworks]

Maybe. But we save £100 ish every time we refurb wheels though

Had a set of 18" Megane ones done for £30 a wheel :tongueclosed:

 

[Stay Puft]

Managed to source some transport for the week..

 

[imprezaworks]

An upgrade. Should take the pain out of the over priced wheel refurb

Are we just making stuff up now....

:smile:

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Had my M3 wheels done for £120. 19s
Just saying

 

[imprezaworks]

That’s daft cheap. Although there was a company in Birmingham or somewhere at £25 a wheel?

 

[Stay Puft]

Is that fully stripped, refurb'd and then powdercoated?

 

[imprezaworks]

And a hug too iirc.

:smile:

No haha, a place up near Preston called Tilling Powdercoating.

Is that fully stripped, refurb'd and then powdercoated?

The Megane wheels i had done were yeah, powdercoated red. Decent enough job for £120.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Yup

 

[imprezaworks]

Bargain

Does anyone know the paint code for standard cup turinis? Last time I asked for 'bright silver' they were more grey. Ive had a search but it isnt what I remember.. I remember the paint code being a weird word and a number.

 

[Stay Puft]

The paint code for anyone interested..

 

[Gally]

Rover stone grey used to be pretty close when people were struggling. A tad darker.

 

[General Dave]

Picked it up yet @Davyy ???

[bloke]

city powder coaters £20 per wheel.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah that’s the name

Cas Coatings do them for a £1 an inch in Bradford but you need to remove tyres and refit them after yourself and work is definitely hit and miss.

Wheel refurbs on the sign just above aircon.

they've been going for years and do a hell of a lot so probably small profit per wheel. i used to charge £25 just to dip a wheel and at that price it wasn't worth the hassle most of the time.

Plus VAT and only for solid colours, it (was) £1.50 an inch for metallics.
They only blast and coat, so if the wheel has dents or curb marks in they won't sort those out.

Had a few sets done there.

Have you got your motor back mate? How did it turn out?

 

[Stay Puft]

Nope. Wheel people rang on Friday saying the alloys had quite a lot of pitting, so had to go back in the stripper.. or something along those lines. Tomorrow hopefully!

 

[Stay Puft]

Just collected it. Really happy with it, the paint match is spot on and they got rid of a couple of other small dents in the same panel. Thanks again for the recommendation @General Dave

Sealed the wheels too.. they are rather err silver, just what I wanted.

 

[Louis]

They've done a great job blending the inferno in mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

Looking great.

 

[Stay Puft]

Haha piss off.

They forgot to put my aerial back on though.. wonderer why signal was so naff on way home.

 

[Mr Plums]

Looks awesome mate.
