Powder coating/alloy specialist recommendation in midlands?

Post by littleone_90 » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:49 pm

Hi all,

I am looking into having my alloy wheels powder coated or painted in black and wondered if anyone could recommend somewhere reputable to have the work done? I live in Worcestershire but of course am willing to travel a reasonable distance!

Any suggestions greatly received!

Cheers,

Try Wheels uk of bayton road coventry, i had my scirocco wheels repaired and repainted gloss black by these guys and i was totally stunned at the quality they achieved. The finish they offer is up there with best available imo.

I used The Wheel Specialist in Derby to refurb my winter wheels. They're not cheap but do a good job.

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the suggestions...

Rayz4 - I might actually try Wheels UK as I work in Coventry! Don't suppose you have any pics of the finish they achieved do you?

Cheers...

There's a company in Birmingham that are insanely cheap, about £30 per wheel and from what I've seen they do a top job!

If you want the number let me know and I'll dig it out.

1st Class Alloys in Lichfield are well known to me and do a top job. Just done my 108's powder coated inners balck, spokes mirrored flash chrome and lips in mirror powder coat. Amazing at it, but perhpos a bit far from you.
