| Alloys, changing colour Hi I have just got a bargain set of alloys of ebay, however they are silver and I fancy getting them done in white. I have two questions, what is best powdercoating or resprayed. I am not sure if they are the same thing, and how much. Can anyone recommend somewhere around the home counties, london or down near winchester to have this done. Thanks Steve |

| Re: Alloys, changing colour Shot blasting and power coating will do providing they arent badly kerbed. |

| Briskodian  | Re: Alloys, changing colour I was going to recomend a company I used, there website was wheelrefurbishing.com.... then I realised that it's the company all the others said! Never knew the companies name, just the website adress!  Anyway, I had my ITR wheels refurbed and powdercoated satin black, excellent job, thinking of getting my Octavia ones done the same... edit: BJV will come and collect the rims from you and deliver them back too.
