davy h Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My Mondeo alloys are starting to go off, discoloured and chipped and have been quoted £370 to strip and refurb, is this far too much ???? does anyone have any idea where I can have them done in Aberdeen or close to me ????

Hello and welcome to the forums £370 is an absolute rip off! You could have them painted for £30-40 a corner or blasted/powder coated for £40 a corner I think you need to phone around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My alloys are absolutely wrecked, too. When I bought the car from Evans Halshaw they looked close to perfect... then I jetwashed the car and all the paint fell off, revealing the messy wheels below that they'd covered up to get the car off the forecourt. Now they look a complete mess. Should probably add for legal reasons! I don't know if Evans Halshaw did that, or the previous owner (called Ronald) did. Make up your own minds! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 £50-£60 per corner is about average. Any more than that and they're taking liberties. A dip, powdercoat and lacquer will make them look brand new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi v6 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I agree with the above anything over £200.00 for all 4 wheels is a rip off unless u are after something special like flip paint then u could accept to pay more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylesby Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 When my alloy started leaking air too much I had one wheel refurbished inside and out for £70 by a man in a shed in Crewe. I checked out the man in a van brigade but felt I wanted a more permanent solution. In the process I found out how busy these people are with damage caused by pot holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
