i need to get my wheels refurbed sandblasted and painted white. does anyone know of people arund the heathrow area that may do for me??

[binge]

Im not sure. but my Wheels need refurbing too.
Theres a sand blasting company who will...

Sand blast the item,
Treat the metal to prevent rust,
Powder coat
and bake if needed.

Now they did all that to my old BMX frame for £25

So my guess is that £100 should Cover my 4 Mini wheels. But what sort of finish can I get with powder coat. Will they beable to do the same colour as mine already are? (see avanter)

And is £100 good for 4 wheels to be sand blasted and powder coated?

How much. Jee whizz you could buy new for that

[miniman5]

why dont you do them your self??

get a grinder with a wire brush on and give them soem stick! then spray them up, my mate at school did some mini lites like that and there like new!

Mate, new Wellers are really cheap!

I wouldn't get this done by someone who doesn't refurb wheels as their trade. Professional wheel restorers will crack test your wheels as part of the process and will tell you if they are gash before going to the expense of refurbing them.

Binge, Alloys don't rust!

[miniman5]

Treat the metal to prevent rust,

as dan said alloys dont rust pureley because there an alloy, wich is 2 metals mixed to geather.

[TimS]

yeh but miniman, wellers are steel, thats an alloy too and it does rust because its ferrous(contains iron)

[Jammy]

Hmmmm, could Dan be finally wrong on something?!


I hear hell is getting cold?

[TimS]

lol no, it was just the way he worded it, he ment alloys as in ally wheels! alloy wheels dont rust as they use a non ferrous alloy. But if you were to be politacally corect, both steel and alloy wheels are alloy
