PPKing Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi everyone, Just a quick question aimed towards those that have had their alloys sprayed or know anyone who has, wether you could tell me rough prices as to what professionals charge to do it? I've sent emails to 5 local companies now over the space of 2 weeks, and no replies... So thought I'd come to the trusty forum just so I can start budgeting next months pay packet :-) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well you can get them sprayed tartan colour for about £240 lol http://swns.com/news/car-bodyshop-owner-customises-wheels-tartan-paint-28907/ lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayneo01 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm going to get mine done but going to plasti dip them myself, so if I ever get bored of then I can just peel it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Careful with plastidip on wheels, they can get pretty messed up and need reapplying more than paint. That said, it's peanuts to do it yourself and is easy to get a good finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPKing Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just looked into Plastidip, it actually looks pretty decent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I did my old buckled alloy in some that was left over, it's decent stuff and looks quite good, although just remember you'll always have a matte finish which I personally didn't like the look of for my car.

PPKing Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Check this out: 2 coats of Matte Black along with 3 coats of Silver Metalizer to achieve to me a perfect gun grey colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPKing Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi mate yeah if you could that would be great as I live in Chelmsford do not too bad. Do they do painting on panel work too? If they've got an email address that would be cool as I could send them a photo of what I'm after for a better quote. Cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
