Reconditioning alloys in Kent

[BigGrsi]

Hi, does any1 know of a decent place to get wheels reconditioned in Kent area? I dont really wan2 travel 2 far to have them done! There are only a few minor scuffs on the lip of the alloy, nothing too serious, but i want them sprayed matt black or powdercoated black!
If any1 has got any advice it would be much appreciated.
By the way i have asked at lepsons in gillingham and they want around £220 which is extortionate as they do not require as much work as the majority of the wheels that they get in there, yet want the same money!!
The wheels are 15" turbines. Thanks in advance!

Spit & polish in Tonbridge, but I think they charge about the same as Lepsons.

I must say though they do a great job.

I have Lepsons to be quite reasonable over the years.

i phoned spit and polish, they wanted 60 per wheel, plus v.a.t! lepsons wanted 240 plus v.a.t! :nono: no way!
They dont need reconditioning, just sandblasting and painting! I wish i could do it myself, dont suppose any of the members on here know of any1 that would be capable of doing it?

are they metal or plastic tho ?? They would melt if plastic because they bake them in the oven after powerder coating !!

 

[BigGrsi]

thanks for all the advice guys, but there is a place in newington (kent) that are gonna sand blast them and matt black powder coat them for a total of £90. Cant be bad!
Im gonna file down the few rough bits on the wheels myself as they are nothing serious.
will put pics up when they are done! should look wicked!
