yeah i mean i have my own sandpaper so that doesnt need to be supplied but if someone has kerb marks on 1 wheel and just want 1 fixing it is easier if they supply the paint, i will fix the kerb mark or scuff and because you cant get a proper colour match for alloy wheel silver i cannot be held responsible if the colour match is wrong if you supply the paint but if you are doing 1 wheel you may aswell do all 4, i am getting people to supply the paint because then they can choose the colour they want e.g if they have a paint code for a colour they want there wheels they can go to a bodyshop suppliers or to halfords and get the exact colour they want and then i dont get the wrong colour and they are not happier it just makes things easier, they are 5 quid a wheel because i know what its like you want a cheap job, it is cheap 5 quid a wheel they woulkd cost from 40 quid upwards in a bodyshop or powdercoaters and as you can see from my wheels the finish is good, if i did it with a spray gun obviously the price would be more because the paint costs more. and ii also depends on amount of paint to what the size of the wheels are | |

it also depends on what size the wheels are to how much paint, primer and laquer. i have got some pics of my sport wheels that i have done which i will put up later, i rushed them a little because i didnt have any other wheels to go on and they were sprayed outside but look good. | |

rattle cans, but the finish i get are good, if you want a really good shine with them more laquer is needed, the wheels will be baked through the primer, paint and laquer stages, then after a week or 2 just lightly g3 them and they will come up excellent, i may have a job on for a friend in a couple of weeks, i will post pics up after i have done them | |

If you are in the east yorkshire area and want your wheels refurbing i am offering the service to do it, if your wheels are scuffed and kerbed i can sort it out for you, if you supply the paint, primer, laquer so if the paint is not the same i cannot be held responsible (obviously you cannot get a colour match on an alloy wheel), i am also spraying wheels if you just want them a different colour again if you supply the primer, paint and laquer of whatever colour you want. |
