Completed the refurb of a set of rostyles 13" x5J which should look well on Flo the Firenza in due time! Set of 5 from Dave Hill for £40 - £15 worth of paint stripper - not good enough - blasted and powder coated silver £100 - masking and black paint + lacquer £20 + time??
Total cost £175 - that works out at £35 per wheel :wink:

You provide the wheels and i will do them for £35 a wheel - if they are pitted with rust then you will get some dimpling cos my man blasts them and powder coats them.
The weak area with the powder coating is the join of the rim to the main wheel body ! Will have to see how these fair :roll:
