(S) Alloy Spraying

Ok, now i know a lot of youy will say this is a stupid thing to do myself, but i really cant afford to get it done professionall;y due to repairing the car.

How hard will it be to spray my alloys white? Also, do you all think that they wiull look good being white on my car? (car is Orleans Blue so it should look good)


Thanks in advance guys,
Mark

If you have the time, I think it can be done
Just be sure to give them a good key, clean them very well before spraying and don't forget to apply some laquer after the paint!
If you don't rush, it will look great!

I wouldn't if i was you, its not a 10 minute job, i'd just save up and have them done professionally, if the wheels look crap on a car then the whole car looks crap. A wheel refurb company by me only charge 25 pound a wheel, that is to shotblast them, re-furb if needed and painted to what ever colour you choice. Bargain

its actually not that expensive & you'll regret it if you dont

Thanks guys, will let you know what i end up doing

It's not that expensive at all to get it done pro, bearing in mind if you do it yourself the cost of lacquer, paint, sandpaper, filler (if needed). Then if you mess it up it's gotta be done again.

Add to that the inconvenience of having no car for a while, just get it done properly.

If you go ahead with it post some pics as it is also something I have been considering

Kinda on the same lines of this thread i have a rock and roll blue gp what do u reckon to having the wheels done in white on this? and also thinkintg of the stripe kit to ?? thanks

White details on blue cars looks the dogs. I'm not a huge fan of the stripes kit, if i wre you, do what im gonna do an nip to your local sign man and get some custom stripes made, it will be cheaper thanthe stripes kit, and you will be unique

What alloys have you got on it now?

Just the standard dynamic wheels would rather get thm spared at the mo before investing in a new set am a poor student at the mo lol.

wow i didnt realise the price best quote i have is £235

Keep looking, a place near me will do 17s for £40 per wheel. That includes refurb, powder coated any colour, and tyre removal/refitting. They do an excellent job aswell.

tried pretty much every where in norwich and best i could find was £235 they only 15s too

In response to your question about it looking good - take a look at the sig..

Yeah yeah yeah, i know your car looks the ******** but remember mine dont have the stripes kit on it, and wont have a white vynal for a while yet.
