would like my wheels to be gold and wanted to paint myself.

c'mon...someone must know - I hope to do this on the w.end if possible!!!

There are plenty of companies that do it and they use 2 pack epoxy paint.
Wheel manufacturers use statically charged powder particles. The paint particles get attracted to the wheels and it is quicker and easier to get a uniform coating. Its also more enviromentally friendly. A good 2 pack and a low bake oven will make a good job of them. |
do u reckon I could get some from Halfords or some other car shops...
Has anyone actually done this before? |
Do you have a low bake oven to cure them in? ;)
I think you;d be better off paying someone to re-condition them for you. I think it's about £50 a wheel (obviously more than a tenner for some paint at Halfords, but if you want it done properly...) |
can I not stick them in my oven? I have 16in rims and they should fit. What gas mark and time should I leave them in there for?
|
Are you serious?
£100 will get you a professional re-condition done. Shot blast the old paint off, reprofiling to remove kerb marks etc, repainting and lacquor. |
Chris,
I am willing to pay £100 - can you refer me to an appropriate place please? Cheers! |
What area are you in? I can recommend a place local to me.
|
I need mine done too. Does anyone know a place in London / the South East?
Steve :D |
I live in West London.
is it a one day job? specifically, how long does it all take because I could travel... Cheers! |
If you get your rims microwaved they should be able to do them in your lunchhour!
