Wheel Repair/repaint In Canberra

[azathoth]

Heya all

So my wheels are really getting to me, I like them but they are just really dirty and ratty at the moment.

They have a bit of gutter rash and the paint s coming off a few and they just never seem to be able to get clean.

I really like them though and if I can get them repaired and resprayed in a stupid colour for less than another set of wheels I would like to do that.

Are there any places in canberra that can do this and if so is it worth it.

Wheels in question are a set of Rays Volk Challenges.

cheers,

Andy

Good experience?

[zebra]

He is a member of the NSW club, has done heaps of stuff to the other guys cars, haven't heard of a single complaint yet

I'm going to get him to do all the intake piping on the 1J soon

[azathoth]

Oh wicked.

I might give him a buzz after I sort rego tomorrow because I dig my wheels, just not the dirty scab by look they have.

I take it he does the bead blasting and all the prep work too yeah?

Wicked wheels in Qbn did my OZ racing wheels, fantastic job, matte black finish, as good as factory

[zebra]

yeah does all the prep work, if they have gutter rash etc I think he sends them to a 3rd party to be machined or whatever it is they do.

If Jax in fyshwick still repair/reprint wheels that's where I got a seriously damaged rim on my old mr2 repaired a couple of years back. They did a really good job in the small time frame I gave them. If I remember correctly one of the guys on here in the ACT section works there now?

Digging up this old arse thread because I'd like to get my big rash fixed and a fresh set of paint, preferably the same colour on all rims unlike whatever the previous owner did..

Did you end up getting anything done Andy?

Cheers

Probably doesn't help, but this is related. --->> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/387678-got-a-rash/?hl=+got++rash#entry6184130

or get some Kneadit Steel and fix / paint them DIY style.

It Works! (Remember those R32 Rims?)

Wicked wheels did a good job on my old Sparcos.

Recommend powdercoating > painting though. WAY too easy for paint to come off wheels when you're getting tyres fitted etc.

Cheers Rob, not what I wanted to read haha. Might look into diy if it's going to cost as much to repair as it would to fix.

Thanks Kat, yeah I have heard about that happening. Powdercoating sounds expensive but will obviously be the better quality job ey. Will have to do some more research.

[GTRKat]

It really is worth it - the pain is a pain in the ass because people just aren't careful enough.

[dontyellpl0x]

Yeah

Seeing as they are only 5 minutes away I might go have a talk to them on one of my days off later this week

[THE34T]

Yes I agree with Kat, Wicked Wheels did mine and did a great job I also agree re paint vs p/coat. Mine are painted and in general it's ok and they have lasted well, but it is a worry when it comes time to play with tyres or get a wheel alignment .. Powder coat for me next time.

I think the dr. has cream that will fix your rash up.

[Sinista32]

Can be used internally and orally ??
