Really...in a day...where pray tell? What do powder coats look like in the flesh or is it a case of not being over eager with the amount of powder?
Do they blast them virgin for that price too so the backs are nice as well?

I had them do my 8 series, and my 5 series, the lacquer on the 5 series was lifting, so I had them refurbed and powder coated. They have a website, and you are in the Manchester area

Re: wheel refurb
The powdercoating process can easily be done in a day although you will probably be expected to pay a premium for a quick turnaround.

My bad for a hijack.....
Isn't there a usual precaution about wheel nut tightness checking soon after painting?

Re: wheel refurb
Powdercoated is the best option as already stated above. A lot of places turn them round in a week these days but usually at a cheaper rate.
