Did you get them shot-blasted, and what paint did you use?
I have a set of five Minor van steelies I need to get done, and was quoted £20 + VAT per wheel just to get them shot-blasted!

That's what I thought! At that rate, I may as well use paint stripper and wire wool/sandpaper and do them myself.

..probably went a bit OTT but took them down to Lepsons where they went the full nine yards (media blast, full tidy up etc etc).Speedtouch wrote:Did you get them shot-blasted, and what paint did you use?

They painted (rather than powder coated) them in Felgensilber to match the back two wheels which I picked up new from BMW. (The last two left in Germany apparently
)Definitely recommend Lepsons. Loads of nice wheels in there being worked on, Lotus Cortina steels, Porsche bits etc. They have virtually the whole industrial estate down there in Kent now..
