Wheel refurb costs?

After a really bad week of motoring (back box went, then radiator got attacked by a stone), i jet washed the motor to get some of the filth off and noticed after being recovered home on the back of a truck that my back wheels have been damaged.

No major scuff damage, but it has rubbed the paint off! :worried:

Whats the price of 4 wheels powder coating?
I will get them all done because i dont want the finish / colour to look different on 2 wheels, also imo the inner rim of the standard wheels looks a bit brighter than the faces (anthracite).

Also any recommendations around Huddersfield / Wakefield would be great.

My mate had his rims done there too for 50 a wheel, buy they quoted me £276 plus VAT, No doubt i could get the price down.
Has anyone used LSN? seem to get good reviews over on the scoob forums.

Ash - LSN are great, they will do them for £30/wheel - what colour are your wheels at the moment?

If you wanted, for convenience, I have four wheels that have just been done by LSN, would happily exchange for your four for £170. Yes I am making £50 out of it for my troubles, but it saves you from having a car without wheels.

You take these wheels away, leave me a deposit, get them swapped, return your straight wheels and I give you the deposit back.

If that is any good to you, give me a shout, I am not that far away, just between Hudds and Wakey.
 
Thanks, but as the rims were mint condition id rather keep hold of them and get the re-done :smile: plus cant afford at the mo after forking out 350 smackers for the rad :worried:
Might leave them until winter has passed.
Thanks for the input on LSN :smile:
 
Google Metal Magic. They are based in Dodworth, Barnsley and their work is both top notch and reasonably priced. I had all 4 of mine powder coated by them and the finish is far superior to how they left the factory.

£350 for a Rad?! :blush:hmy:
 
Dont get me started! they had me over a barrel, and shafted me hard! excuse the grim language!
I got recovered back to them thinking it would be a warranty job, they then told me it was a stone that had damaged the rad, i have no proof of this, and didnt see anything when i was looking to see what had happened.
They initially told me it was £420 plus VAT! and told me they had the part and could get on with it.
I got a quote elsewhere who quoted £280 all in, but Reno told them the part was on back order 12 days!
They wouldnt release the rad, i said il buy the rad off you as i know you have one, they said i couldnt have it unless i used them. there was also the fact that my car was at there place!

so i told them i had the other quote and they dropped it to £350 all in.....i cant believe they were going to charge me £500 quid before!

I actually hate them! and they always do a crap job!
