Hi can anybody recommend somewhere Kent based for me to get my alloys powder coated/ re Furbed
I'm after a nice glossy black finish they were black when I got them but I'm ashamed to say I have bounced one of a curb and it makes me very sad to look at lol
-
Where in kent are you based bud?...
-
Tonbridge
-
Lepsons at Gillingham are good...
I've used them as do lots of dealers.
-
^^^^^^^ As above, not used them myself but have been recommended to me a number of times.

+1 :happy2:
-
As above they are good. My mate works there.
But I'm also from same area and would use spit and polish. Its in tonbridge next to nev'll fix it and my mates dad owns it so I get them done cheap :-)
-
What's that you can get my wheels done cheap well that's just lovely :wink: No seriously that's great thanks I will give both a call I assume they do powder coating as well
-
Lol. If I knew you it would be possible loi. Will ask and see. Yes they do powdercoating.. Diamond cutting and chrome liquid.
Another good mate of mines dad owns Diamond Styling in sevenoaks. They are really good too...
What colour is your GTI?.. I might of seen you about...
-
It's a White edition 30 3dr. I will strip the tyres of this week I think I'm itching to get them done
-
Has it got black wheels... Well run them in there. It will be a bit cheaper if they don't have to take of tyres and balance them...

Will be cheaper but then you'll be getting someone else to re fit the tyres who could damage them (and will probably take no liability for any damage caused). If the refurbisher fits then it's all down to them.
-
Yeah it's got black wheels well black with a unintentional half polished edge :ashamed:what colours yours ? I will take full responsibility as it will be me taking the tyres of and putting them back on luckily :happy2:
-
What colours your what a clever question I just looked at your avatar picture lol
-
Mine is grey with grey lambo wheels has it got a private plate. I think I see you coming out of royal mail depot a few weeks ago... Yer I thought you might of been doing the tyres yourself. I will ask my mate and find out how much they are. What wheelss they are and size and what do you want doing?...
-
I've used spit and polish a number of times and recommend them very highly, let them remove and refit tyres and you won't have a problem :happy2:
-
that could well have been me mate! I actually live in east peckham my personalised plate has my nick name boe on it
My wheels are standard edition 30 wheels 18inch I want them re done black but powder coated a really glossy finish wouldn't mind seeing some pics of your wheels they sound nice
-
Yer they are ok. They come with the car when I got it a couple of months ago. They need a refurb and am getting some new wheels at some point. They are a bit big for me really. I'm looking to drop it so 19s aint really the best size for that lol. Have a look at my thread. You will see them

I will speak to my mate and get a price for you. Might be able to see if I can get mates rates for you :happy2:
-
Still looking to get my zeniths done in smoked chrome, been quoted £65 + VAT per wheel from Lepsons, emailed Spit and Polish several times but they haven't bothered replying! :sad1:
Might have a look at Diamond Styling.
-
Cheers Adam just let me know no probs if not I will just buzz them down there and see how I get on
Ps just checked out your pictures very nice car lovely spec will keep an eye out for you
-
Blimey all these local boys , I'm in Paddock Wood and also need my Monza's refurbed .
Was going to go to Lepsons as was told they are the best place to go to , but may well give Spit & Polish a call now.
I will keep my eyes peeled for you all

If you want a standard powder coat, its 160. . My mates dad owns it

If thats for 4 wheels, I'll have the Golf's done as well! :surprised:
I'm after 4 x 18" Zeniths with minor kerb damage and flaking lacquer to be refurbed in a smoked chrome or something similar. The wheels will have the tyres on but will be off the car and can stay with them for 2 weeks if necessary.
I have emailed them again, just awaiting a response......... :popcornsoda:

Same as below is this for all four wheels or just one?
I'm looking at getting two of my wheels refurbed and possibly a powder coat all four if the price is ok.
Thanks
Richard
-
Yer that's for all four. Prices do normally depend on size abd what you want done. Speak to them and sort out a deal.
-
Got a quote of £66 + Vat each for the Omanyts with diamond cut lip off R32 which isn't too bad. Have also used lepsons before.
I work in Tonbridge, so will have to keep an eye out for all these GTi's.
-
Yea diamond cutting is more expensive. Mines a grey one on lambo wheels if you see it. I work in tonbridge too.
-
Shouldn't be too hard to spot then. DBP R32.
Im prob gonna book it in for September but worry about leaving the car there overnight out on the front!

Had all 4 wheels done in Feb this year, very impressed with the results.
-
I have been quoted a good price by Lepsons but my only concern is that they use heated chemicals? Is this the kosha way to do it as I have heard some bad stories regarding the 'heat' treatment of stripping alloys. They say 'heated chemicals' which is a new one to me, I thought it would be either heat or chemical treatment?
-
Had a quote from SPit and Polish today, for 4 x 18" wheels refurbed in smoke chrome, they will only need to remove/refit tyres as I have other wheels to use.......nearly £400. :surprised:
Looks like Lepsons will be getting the job as their quote was for £312 for the same service. :happy2:
