I used them - wasn't massivly impressed but it's a franchise so it could have just been the guy that came to me. You want "light anthractice" which is the silver one standard on Volvos. Anthricite these guys do is darker and doesn't suite some cars.Originally Posted by Simon
Ummm... The guy I spoke to told me that all the local Volvo dealers use them not that, that means much. The convenience is the main reason I decided to use them. I actually want a darker anthracite not the standard silver, so maybe their 'Anthracite' might be o.k.

Let me know how you get on with them and I might use them too.......have they quoted you a price yet?
Charged me 65 quid a wheel.Originally Posted by grdunn
65 quid a wheel!! is that the going rate in your area??
Got 4 Canisto 17s blasted, powder coated and lacquered for 100 & vat.
45/50 quid usually but don't forget they come to you so that tends to be a premium.
If you got 4 done for £117.50 tell me the hell where from

Got them done at a powder coaters in Glasgow, can't remember the name at the mo but can find out. May be a bit of a long trek fo you though.

This is the ' dark' verson of the Titan when they are powder coated by aftermartket boys
And in this pic you can see the difference between the two colours
Twins - nice picture - are they both yours?Originally Posted by The Flying Banana
They said between £55 and £60 per wheel plus VAT. That is about £50 more in total than the best quote I got elsewhere but with the other place you have to leave the car there for a few days and it'a about a 100 mile round trip as well. A lot less hassle for not much more money.
I prefer the lighter colour I think!
