Work Meisters

[lilkaaay]

I picked up a set of work meisters: 114.3x5 18x11 & 114.3x5 18x10

Basically I want to paint strip all the old clear coat and then have them re-polished and have the finished product re-sealed.

I also want the centers powder coated black.

Does anyone know any places that do this? Preferably in the city area, or Hawthorn, Kew or Richmond area...

I don’t want my three piece to be taken apart.

I took one to this shop in whoop whoop land and they wouldn't do it so now I am looking around.. pls help!!

Have you tried a panel beater?

Yes I have taken it into a panel beater, they suggested something different to what I have in mind, I thought about it and then changed my mind... so instead they forwarded me the contact details of a wheel place. I took one wheel in and they said that they did not want to do the job, they did not have the time...

I had a spray painter attempt to do the job on one wheel but again it was not what I want.

Keeping all my options open, I don’t want to take it to more than one place... I want to drop it off somewhere and pick them up, polished, re-sealed and powder coated.. ready to put the tyres on.

The person who attempted to fix one wheel started rubbing it back and it went wrong!! Luckily it was only the size of a five cent piece... I took it into the panel beaters and they had a go, still bad news!!

As for the doing it myself... the panel beaters suggested to mask it up and paint the centers black and i got all excited because I wanted the painter to do three and then i wanted to paint one of them myself just for fun but then I decided that i want them powder coated.

out of all them Coburg Mag Wheel Polishing & Repair Centre was the best for my needs to re-machine/polish the dish, powdercoat the spokes to what ever colour i wanted and reseal the rim. im guessing thats what your after?

[rs73]

I might need one, because the work result done by a well known wheel place around cheltenham just peel itself off and flake off after 3 months... very unhappy with their worksmanship and basically at $180 cost they don't wanna know about it.

I found that they did not use a primer before recoating, and probably didn't put a hard coat on that's why it's peeling off...

[NickR33]

powdercoating requires a lot of prep work to keep it from peeling etc... they need to be sand/media blasted and thoroughly cleaned beforehand

I know a few people who have used Neway Wheel Repairs in West Heidelberg and been very happy.

that sounds good... yes i want them re-machined, polished and powder coated and re-sealed. do u know roughly how much it costs?

[ashneel]

i got quoted $110 per wheel (if you have rubber on the wheel they will remove it for ya) but that was fixing up gutter rash also. if your rims don't require any fixing i guess it will be cheaper

but i was also getting 8 wheels done so the price may have dropped a little bit.

hope that helps. best to call them. cant remember who i spoke to but they were very helpful

I might give neway a try, to re-repair the rims from bad workmanship of the other wheel shop.
