Looking to get my wheels refinished so my question is paint or powder coat which is best? And what is the average cost per wheel.

Not sure which is better paint or powder coating but on average would say £50 to £60 a wheel

I pay £40 per wheel, that's powder coated and re fit and balance.

Powder coat is all I use as it's much tougher, people I know spent £250 to have them painted and they suffered with stone chips and looked awful! 2 years later mine were still looking tip top.

Who do you use?

[Ettienne]

They don't do mail order and it's nit local to you, but lepsons I hear do a good job but costly

Had mine done by a firm in Exeter they did a great job will dig out some info for you.

They powder coat the base coat then paint the colour and then the clearcoat on top.

Just call in and see what cars they have in, last time I was in it had a couple of Ferrari cars in from the dealer on the same estate.
Just when you get a price make sure it with the vat included.
