Alloy Wheel Refurb

Or get them to paint the wheels in the correct colour 205.110

I asked them for that colour and they couldn't find it. Im going to try somewhere else to see if they can get the right colour, if not spray the centre caps.

i had trouble finding it for a while, as it is listed on sites as 205-110, but eventually found it on our system by swapping the dash in the middle to a dot.

Ahh that may come in useful i'll remember that.

They should have also masked up the faces where the bolts tighten up against. The paint can wear away and thus loosen the bolts.

Is there no one out there and will wet spray a wheel inside out rather than powder coat?

I find if you get a stone chip on a powder coated part it chips away in massive flakes rather than just leaving a tiny dot.

You're absolutely right, as I found out a few weeks back when I caught the rear wheel on a curb, a flake of paint completely came off and it looks awful. 3 years and not once did I curb the alloys, some weeks after a refurb and then it happens!
