I would like my 16v turbines refurbished but everywhere eg spit and polish are sayin £50 per wheel and thats wiv me takin them to them. Any1 else had this done in the Surrey area for lets say £30-£40/wheel.
get them shot blast at a local engineering firm etc, then take them home, clean them. Use some filler for the edges of curbing etc, smoth it all down, then get it painted in whatever colour you want.
No I want some1 suggest somewhere good in the Surrey area. Its just ppl r good at practical/mechanical stuff but i aint. Im not starting a arguement just stating that I wanna take my wheels somewhere and have them refurbished.
Dont shot blast them as a shot blast machine uses steel shot normaly and this is to large hard and course particals for alloy wheels. I put some in a machine for a friend after warning him and they came out all pitted. You would be better off getting sand blasted as it should do less dammage. Or if your lucky maybe a vaqua blast type thing, like a water and fine grit blasting method.
