Repainting wheels

jozi

I'm looking for someone who can do a good job on matching 1 set of alloys wheels to another set.

The wheels I need painted are these

And I want them to match the other set I have the same as these:


Collins engineering were recommended in another thread about alloy repair but with mixed reviews.

Wheel doctor are to busy and doing refurbs at the min. Nuluk in NI have just gotten a little dear!

I know lots of places that do it but nobody comes back with the amount of recommendations from previous customers than Barelle, ive seen their work and it is top quality. Ive seen others where the full process was not carried out meaning they didnt last, plus borbets are good wheels i would be leaving them with a reputable company.

Here is their process
-Chemical strip and beadblast
-Minor repair and sanding
-Base powder colour
-Cure
-Powder lacquer coat
-Cure

Heres their site, defintely worth contacting

Anyone else use them? Looks like a thorough process to get wheels looking good again. You don't happen to know how they deal with polished or diamond cut faces? Must remember to give them a bell during the week.

Anywhere else recommended that I should check?

Tallaght Powder Coating do a top class job, I've seen at least ten set of wheels, rocker covers, strutt braces etc come out of there and a year on are still looking like new.

The have a website google them!

My rocker cover is in with them at the moment and when I put Tyrese on my spare wheels I'll be sending my wheels in to be done too.

Only place i send wheels is to Revolution Engineering (RE) outside clane, never any problems or complaints from me and i would send over a few sets a year. ill pm ya the guys mobile number coz i dont have a landline for them. €50 a wheel normally and they will remove tires, refit and balance them

There's a good crowd in Carlow, I think they're called Carlow Powdercoating (if you google that you'll find them) They charge around €50 a wheel, but you have to have the tyre off the rim yourself.

I've heard a few bad words about Tallaght Poweder coating and I don't think they do polished rims either (powdercoat clear coat/laquer dulls the finish normally)

I'll give the above recommendations a call when I get a chance. It's looking like I might just sell the wheel and keep an eye out for a set of silver ones.

I was talking to someone in TPC and he said that powdercoating powder has enough gloss in it to warrant not using a lacquer or anything like that.

I'm getting mine done in December so I'd be interested to see how you get on.

Another recommendation for taillight powder coating. Did a top job on my car.
