Got my car back from having all the wheels redone, mainly because I seriously curbed an alloy. I chose shadow chrome colour, what do you guys think?

How did you go about the refurb?
Did you leave the car somewhere overnight (how long did it take?) or do 1 wheel at a time
It is just i am thinking for the QP but i don't want to leave it and i don't have a spare so it would be of the road anyway. Also will you divulge an idea of the cost?

When ever I have had mine done it takes a day...Leave the car at 8 and pick up at 5.

I left if for two days and they took wheels off and did the job. Was all in price so didn't have to worry about takin wheels and tyres off.

That looks really good. Very classy. Where did you get them done and (if you don't mind me asking) how much did you pay?

Hi Adam,
Used www.paintituk.com as was recommended by Felice at Sunnyside. They had refurbed a QP and a GT very recently. They put some new rear tyres on mine also and disposed of old ones for no charge.

They charged £295 all in. Very helpful and happy to provide a lift to a station.

Hey if you don't mind what paint did they use and what's the paint code? It might also be nice if you don't know to have it in your records should you curb them again or if you sell it later for that owner to know what to request. I wouldn't mind having it because I like that color.

Thanks James. I'll give them a look when I get mine done soon. I wasn't overly impressed with the last place I used and your finish looks excellent.

Love the 2 tone effect.
I'm inspired, as I've been thinking of lightening the face of mine, leaving the darker existing colour behind.
