Hello, i'm happy with the standard alloys on my car, just not the colour. Does anyone have an idea on the costs of powder coating four alloys? The car has 5 spoke alloys fitted.

Using Lepsons as a guide it is £188.00 +vat for a set without tyres, £212.00 +vat for a set with tyres on. As the old paint if chemically stripped I believe you can change the colour without any additional cost :). Minor scrapes and kerbing will be corrected within this price.

Those guys seem pretty reasonable, have you used them before?

Lepsons in Swindon did my R105's and a jolly nice job :cool: they did too for a good price. Friendly and helpful as well. I will hold off complete recommendation until I have seen how well the finish lasts, I am optimistic though.

I used Maxpowder in Hemel Hempstead and got all 4 wheels refurbished and powder coated for less than £150 which I thought was very good for 18's! Finish still as good as the day I collected them and was a two day turn around for them :)

Where about in the Midlands are you.
Have just had the daughters mini wheels done at a place in Aldridge near Walsall called planet world. Charged me £140.
I had them do my 18" futera wheels on my previous car done by them in anthracite which were spot on.
Looking to have mine done, soon as I find some tyres to have put on at the same time as I am p...ed off with these runflats.
