That's what I did :( Only ever scratched one wheel and had it refurbed twice..then kerbed it again! Sod's law it is..

Anyway, that looks like a good refurb to me - although the colour looks different. Maybe it's just the light though.

the colour seems oko but it is dark so i cant check till tomorrow.

price was 65 + vat so worked out to 78 or something
 
Not a bad job...

As above, it looks a little different to normal? but that might be the flash.

Get some pics up in the daylight! Maybe not today though, given it's greyer than an old person... lol

How long did they take to get done?
I hit a curb today to stop a bus hitting me and got a big scrape on one of mine :(

Tbh mate . Without spraying the centre cap you'll always struggle to get a perfect match . Plus with it being a silvery colour it shows more as one is plastic and one is metal . A bit like on iceberg 172's , the front wings look a different shade to the doors from certain angles .

i just forgot to get him to spray the centre caps.

if he had done that it wouldnt have been a problem.

but what i dont understand is how one alloy matches and centre cap and one dont???

did he use a different mix or something??? who knows??

Maybe get in touch with the guy who sprayed them . He might have some paint left and spray your centre caps cheap or free ;)

You've nothing to lose by giving him a bell .
 
centre caps are easy as pie to spray yourself anyway so i would ask what paint he used and give that a go (if he tries charging you this is)

well it was £80 per wheel, but as a garage scratched one, they paid for it.

so it cost me £80 for two wheels - 40 each
