If you are in the east yorkshire area and want your wheels refurbing i am offering the service to do it, if your wheels are scuffed and kerbed i can sort it out for you, if you supply the paint, primer, laquer so if the paint is not the same i cannot be held responsible (obviously you cannot get a colour match on an alloy wheel), i am also spraying wheels if you just want them a different colour again if you supply the primer, paint and laquer of whatever colour you want.
I am doing this service for 5 pound a wheel.
If you are interested pm me or contact me on 07732896997
I am also offering services of vehicles, you supply the parts and i do all the labour, i also will carry out brake checks, coolant checks, screenwash checks etc, if you are interested it will be a cost of 20 pounds.

rattle cans, but the finish i get are good, if you want a really good shine with them more laquer is needed, the wheels will be baked through the primer, paint and laquer stages, then after a week or 2 just lightly g3 them and they will come up excellent, i may have a job on for a friend in a couple of weeks, i will post pics up after i have done them

it also depends on what size the wheels are to how much paint, primer and laquer. i have got some pics of my sport wheels that i have done which i will put up later, i rushed them a little because i didnt have any other wheels to go on and they were sprayed outside but look good.

i refurbed some rims for about £30, wet n dry, big tin of 'trade' primer, 3 tins of gloess black and they came out that good, people were asking which garage had done them!
all in prep work, they were 17's but could have done with another tin of paint to be perfect

yeah i mean i have my own sandpaper so that doesnt need to be supplied but if someone has kerb marks on 1 wheel and just want 1 fixing it is easier if they supply the paint, i will fix the kerb mark or scuff and because you cant get a proper colour match for alloy wheel silver i cannot be held responsible if the colour match is wrong if you supply the paint but if you are doing 1 wheel you may aswell do all 4, i am getting people to supply the paint because then they can choose the colour they want e.g if they have a paint code for a colour they want there wheels they can go to a bodyshop suppliers or to halfords and get the exact colour they want and then i dont get the wrong colour and they are not happier it just makes things easier, they are 5 quid a wheel because i know what its like you want a cheap job, it is cheap 5 quid a wheel they woulkd cost from 40 quid upwards in a bodyshop or powdercoaters and as you can see from my wheels the finish is good, if i did it with a spray gun obviously the price would be more because the paint costs more. and ii also depends on amount of paint to what the size of the wheels are
