How do you..?
#1
Sorry to repeat the same question I've asked before, but I still haven't had an answer
I seem to be in a minority and quite like the MY00 wheels! However, I want gold wheels but can't afford to splash out on a new set just yet (SS backbox, PIAA's first).
Whats the best way of changing their colour? Painting or powder coating?
How do I go about getting them done if they're still attached to the car??
Sorry for all the questions, maybe someone out there has had their wheels done and can shed a little light to an idiot!
Cheers

Iain , the best thing once you have had the wheels coloured would be to have a couple of coates of good strong lacquer applied to keep up the appearence of the wheels, i have heard that when most wheels are reconditioned it is better to have them powder coated , but somebody will probobly correct me!

I dont know what to suggest. However I know that some dealers spray standard wheels gold for customers & I know that Tilley in Bristol also do this. You could ask them?

Spit and Polish in Tonbridge in Kent specialise in alloy wheel refurbs, which include painting, give them a call, excellent service including spare sets of wheels to borrow (not sure if they have spares for scoobies though).

Thanks for the replys, I've spoken to a powder coating firm who indeed do it for 'buttons', but the problem lies in getting the wheels to them (ie what do I run around on)
Ah well, I might keep my eyes open for the sti wheels that are coming off P1's
thanks again
