Default Painting alloy's

I think the alloys on my yellow SS will look much better black - does anyone know of anywhere that paints wheels (North East) and what sort of price?

Cheers Howie

I would strongly recommend you get them powder coated not painted

My dealer got my wheels painted at a body shop and the paint started to flake within a couple of months.Proper preparation is essential if it is to work.

I had mine done at Romax, Portrack Lane, Stockton, a few weeks ago. Cost is around £45 per wheel, or a bit more for black/chrome, which is what I had done.
