Twigman 93 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 My T-66F wheels could do with a refurbishment. I'm looking for a service reasonably locally (Hemel/Dunstable/MK) that will be able to deal with a bit of light corossion, a bit of kerb damage on one of the wheels, fully strip and powder coat in a satin silver. Any recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowe 191 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 Be careful powdercoating forged wheels. The oven heat can cause the aluminium to anneal leading to premature cracking. Better to wet spray them, even if it's not as durable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MangoNo5 55 Report post Posted August 29, 2019 Excellent! Did you just repair or change the colour? Do have a before and after pic? 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do have a before and after pic? 😊 I had repair and an attempt to match the original colour - it's close. I don't have a before and after pic - i didn't take a pic of quite how poor my wheels had become - i had removed them in Nov18 and must've put them away damp - they had been shrink wrapped and stored on a pallet in a warehouse for 6 months - when I unwrapped them with a view to sticking them back on the car they were in a horrible state! 1 MangoNo5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
