Great refurb on my wheels

[stumpy1]

Just thought I'd post some pics of my wheels which were refurbed over the weekend.

Before




After




I'm very happy with the results and the service I received. This was all done in his van seeing as I can't be without the car for the time it would take to send them away.

Stats007 - Top job.

Another thumbs up for stats then.....

Glad you like them! Ten hours I think in the end .

Kerbing and damage wasn't too bad, though some corrosion had set in under the lacquer of the machined faces of the wheels:

I know some mobile guys would just key the wheel up and paint doing the job in half the time - however when removing the lacquer on the machined faces it's obvious why this shouldn't be done:

The surface might look good but the lacquer has lost it's key on the wheel face and just falls off in wafers.

Wheel prepped and ready for etch priming:

Primed:

This then get's flatted and checked for any blemishes.

Back in the booth and painted, lacquer coats to follow:

Tyre re-inflated, wheel sealant and tyre shine applied, center caps polished, hubs cleaned and copper greased and wheel re-fitted and torqued up:

David specifically wanted the wheels painted all over and not polished which was an option on the Bentley. Have to say they look less fussy like this .

Er, no. You should see her wheels. Even Andrew would struggle I think

I need to get in touch for a quote. I suspect mine will be a pain in the ass to do? Multi-spokes close together?

They can be, though no worse than Asseto Corsa wheels on a Maserati or some M-Power BMW wheels.

can you PM me a quote for 4 x 18" Sport wheels please, thanks. They have been previously lightly refurbed (poorly) and have some corrosion.

Another good job.

Stats repaired some cosmetic damage sustained by one of my wheels while it was in the tender care of a courier.

Perfect job, really pleased.

As you know he did the C43 wheels and has done a couple of my 20" AMG W221 wheels another great job. I think he took a photo of them.
