If they need to shot blast the wheels first, then they have a reference of what not to coat. They coated where the cush drive goes, until fitting not sure if I need to dreamed some of the coating off cause they are normal quiet tight.

ok an update :), Being a lazy bugger I stumbled across felixstowe motors, they offered a ride in ride out service, gloss black and Im happy with the result and didnt get my hands dirty, it was a tad costly £200 but they had trouble getting the disk bolts off and I dont think I would have removed them myself.

Would recommend them :thumbup:

Good service. How long did you have to wait?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Ater that experience I used Wheel Worx http://www.wheelworxrefinishing.com > Units 8-10, Oyster Park, Greenstead Rd, Colchester, Essex, CO1 2SJ :thumbup: Cost £140 to do the pair in black.

Universal Tyres are just round the corner along Hythe Quay so they took the tyres off and back on after coating.

Interseting, Ive always used Maldon powder coatin and shot blasting, but they do sometimes have a pretty long wait time. Ill give these guys a look !

I enquired at Maldon and they were more expensive, and as you said there was a 4 week lead time. After speaking to the guy down the road that removed my tyres, he said they weren't all that good.
