Wheel refurb query

[Guvna!]

I need one of my 182 cup alloys refurbing.

Called a couple of places and they either won't touch it or reckon I need to have two done, incase there is a variation in colour.

The other alloys are pretty much brand new.

Do I really need to waste money getting a second wheel resprayed that is in mint condition so they match??

Depends on how fussy you are as the colour will be out.

Take it the wheels well kerbed, TBF i'd do the 2 just to make sure

It's not exactly wasting money if it's to get the job done right.

If alloy refurb places are telling you it'll need done, it'll need done.

You could buy the paint required and give it to the refurber if you know the shade. That will put the onus off matching the colour on yourself of course.

Yeah it's kerbed pretty badly. The other alloys are in mint condition - you wouldn't think they've ever been used.

Surely because they are in mint condition the colour difference will not be that noticeable?

Look at it this way, if you spray a door on any car, you will need a blend into wing and rear quarter, the same applys to the wheels. It's only covering their back, cause if you get one sprayed and the colour is slightly off (easy to compare to other alloy) then you'll only go back wingeing that he colour is off. Simples.
