Powder coating wheels satin black

Post by donaldosaurus » Wed Dec 30, 2015 10:47 am

I have four new exile y spoke wheels but two are silver! Would look a bit odd I think.

Does anyone know somewhere to get the two silver ones turned satin black please?

Silver on one side and black the other?

Although I suspect you have a front rear colour difference.

There is a place a few doors down from CMC in Edinburgh that recently refurbished my wheels. Very reasonable and done to a very high standard. Sorry cant help with the name, was all organised by Craig at CMC.

I can't remember but they were less than quoted by another local wheel place.

If you are doing wheels, it would be almost criminal not to replace the wheel centre with brand new ones. Factor that in to the cost. Also ask them to do the front and rear grills at the same time.
