Wheel refurb

Does anyone know where I could get a set of wheels powder coated at a reasonable cost in the Yorks area?
Mine are looking a little used.

But I thought their prices were ok. and at least they mention prices, so a reference point maybe?
Looking for black myself, so a cheap set of alloys off ebay, refinished for about £100, I thought would be an option....

Marcus,

Sorry can't help with the refurb question, but are those Mi16 Pug alloys on your car?

Did/do you have any issues with fitting and/or offset?

Cheers
Nick

I do them myself.

Dead easy and they look stunning.

Use metal cement, the stuff your supposed to be able to fix cracked engine blocks with, easily rubbed down, prime with etch primer, paint and lacquer.

You should be able to paint it with cellulose. Good layer of lacquer should protect it.

The Etch Primer i used is cellulose for sure.

There is a wheel refurber in Rotherham who does a brilliant job... I used to use him for most of the guys in the South Yorkshire Capri Club... can't recall name right now will post later.
