your right, but if thw wheels are in need of a severe amount of work he's gonna have to charge a bit more. the only way round is to have a set price that would be alot for not so bad wheels but cheap for really bad wheels so he'd be a bit stuck

great work by the way

just a quick question, on a set of alley cats theres the little diamond shape recesses, how would u go about painting them 1 colour and the raised bit another????

I would repolish the raised bit then mask off and paint the whole wheel, then peel of masking tape and repolish, sorry hard to explain lol.
Price wise would depend on what you wanted, if the front only was painted it would be cheaper but if the whole wheel inside and out and where the tyre
sits is painted it would cost more.

Im hopeing to go and get some advice on this on monday, i can do the job but dont want to put my self or anyone else out of pocket, all advice welcome
im willing to listen.

Hey I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself it’s a new business and until you’ve worked on a few and worked out how much the cost is to you and what your profits are prices will be tweaked a bit. I’d set some basic guidelines, for instance. Full wheel low damage £25, Full wheel Med damage £35 Full wheel High damage £50.

Obviously my prices are just hypothetical but you get the jist.
