Default Essex wheel refurb - Anthracite

Need to get mine done with a very good colour match!

Tried JP's Canvey today but he can't do matt finish??

Anyone tried PaintItUk, Chelmsford?

Have you tried Rapid Refurbs?
Opposite Fairfield BMW on the same site as the Car Wash.
I know they do Scooby colours and have heard good reports on the work.
Tel 01702 528436

But don't go anywhere near Fairfields unless you have a fooking huge wallet

'Approx £200-£250'
'That will be £791 please'
'No it fooking won't!!!!!!!!!

JP's doesn't do matt finish out of choice mate He will only do clear coat finish because he feels its the best way to finish wheels

I am going to Lepsons over the winter but I want a gloss finish. Might be worth just going to a straight forward powder coater ?

The trouble with going to a powder coaters is they mainly work via RAL numbers, they can source via a paint number but the doubt the match would be that good. It would also be expensive as they would have to purchase it solely for that job.

Cheers all,

JP's said he has never been happy with the matt finish he gets when he tried.

I dowant them as near a match as poss or would rather stick with the scuffs.
