dark satin bronze like on the volks - refurb
Hi all. Ive recently picked up a set of 18" XXRs for my blob. They are tatty with curbing, bubbling under paint etc. I want a refurb and would ideally like them in the dark satin bronze that you see alot of the rays volk wheels come like.
What kind of coating/dipping is it? and where can i get it done on these rims? I would be looking for a full in house service..... wheel strip, re coat then tyres back on and balanced all in house to avoid and messing about if at all possible.
I live in the walsall area if anyone can point me in the right direction.
TIA

From memory it's multi stage paint. Sure it's a black base coat and then the top coat to give it the bronze colour.
I own my own little wheel shop (part time) and I did a set of ST wheels in a similar colour and it was definitely multi stage.
They look great on Subarus

Search Facebook for Powdercoating Shropshire. They did mine in Bronze (Matt finish) but offer lots of different final finishes (Matt, frosted, gloss etc).
