City powder coaters in Digbeth Birmingham. Takes them around a week and they have lots of different colours you can choose from. Can't go wrong for the price.They look the dogs. Where did you get them done for £30, I was quoted £65 each.
Powder Coat?

sorry to be dim but at that price they also sort out the big gouges that have been put in the rims too?
I'm glad this topic was raised. My car goes in this weekend for its transformation and I've been looking at these two options for redoing the wheels.
Not my thing mate, I'm more the split rim type. Plus all this work on my zed has just cost me 2k so I'm a little short on funds 
Prices vary, mine were in a poor state (kerbed) and needed liquid metal addition, an eye watering £440 all in! End result looks good though
ouch !

If you want the company I used to collect them and deliver back (they do from a business address (not sure if it has to be car related) then let me know, they collected mine, dropped back with the fresh rubber on, great service.I'm glad this topic was raised.

As I know, if the rims aren't split rims, it's not possible to put two powders on the same rim. When masking, at 200 deg C, everything is "melding" and sticking together!
Hi Dan, I have a special masking tape that is specifically made for powder coating to take the temps involved. Pretty sure I found it on eBay several years ago and although I've never tried it on PC I have used it on joint on my chimney on my pellet stove that has been up to 200c and although it changes colour slightly, from the smoke I imagine comes off very easily.

What about this? I was lucky the mrs approved

Read a good story a few years ago of a bloke that knocked a large window in his garage wall so he could see his Cosworth whilst watching his TV. Single, obviously.Looks good, I've got no chance of having something like that
Mine were not really kerbed in the first place as I sorted out any damage myself when I first refurbished them. I believe they do repair some damage but as to how much I am unsure.
ok fella thanks... looks like I might have to get a quote
