hi again, got some pretty nasty gutter rash and was wondering if anyone can recommend some honest wheel reconditioners in brisbane...

I got a quote from Depulu Wheels on the Gold Coast on they quoted $297 PER TYRE!!!! without even looking at it. This includes the couriers dropping off/picking up wheels...I suspected to pay a bit extra due to the factory shadow chrome but $300....is too much.

Suggestions of some honest places to call? Maybe you know someone? your brother does it? :thumbsup:

Ask for Chris and tell him Jonathan with the V35 sent you. Best way for a quote is to drive to him and let him have a look first hand. And yes, price goes up due to the shadow chrome as they need to repaint the whole wheel but it should't be anymore than $200 per wheel depending on the seriousness of the rash. Chris has been in the business of wheel repairing for years and does good work.

Yes, plenty of wheels done there before. Mostly machining the gutter rash of the lips approx $80, no painting required. I did have one wheel repainted in factory nissan silver and rash machined off for just over $100.

You drop the wheel off to him and it takes roughly a week or so depending on what needs to be done. If it needs to be repainted he sends its off elsewhere, but all machining gets done on site. If he has to remove the tires of the wheel that adds to the cost as well.

    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup. 
    • Cheers thanks for the help mate I’ll see how we go with that one
