Default Alloy wheel refurb around London?

Hey chaps,

Just got these badboys...



and plan to get them done in gold, but I want a nice metallic finish with flakes. Anyone know someone around London who will sort out the curbing and spray?

Automotive group can do it at your house mate. Or take them to anygood bodyshop and ask a bloke to do them in his lunch, wont take more than an hour to prep (unless damaged), paint and a clear. You will need to bake the clear so that will take a hour to be touch dry.

Lepsons in Gillingham are the most professional wheel refurbishers out there. Amazing operation. They do all the Porsche / Bmw dealer repairs.

I've had them do me two sets over the years. Faultless and second to none.

They do cost tho.... About 70 a wheel inc vat I think.

Thanks for the suggestions, anyone have photos of their wheels that have been redone by your chosen refurb place?

I'm East London (Docklands), they look good, wonder if there is a "standard" gold code, I have seen some that look too yellowy and some gold that look too flat. Guess i'm going to have to give some people a call tomorrow.
