    Are you doing it yourself or getting someone to do it for you? How daamaged are the wheels, is there any grazing on the edges?
    I got quoted €150 from a mobile guy, €200 from my local spray painter to do a set of wheels that were in reasonable condition.

    40 euro per wheel to get wheels powdercoated (better job than paint) in Europlates Trim road Dunboyne.

    Hi, what colour powder coat did you get? I suppose the real question is can you powder coat silver? I remember doing powder coating in the metalwork lab in school many, many years ago & I always associate it with a very "plastic" finish in solid colours only. It was a long time ago though.

    I had wheels done there in Black, and also in Silver. They turned out better than i expected, and are lasting good. Motorbike and Car.

    Was that just for painting or was there any refurb work?

    That was for cleaning preparation (sandblasting) and powdercoating.
    There were no dents in wheels.

    Was that the entire alloy or just the visible surface?
