Wheel refurb

[tomfarr]

I got championship white standard wheels, what can you use to touch up a chuff? I don't want to get them refurbed coz I don't want to change the colour.

Championship white touch-ins are on ebay, genuine Honda or none genuine. As most of my touch-ins are out of site, I bought none genuine for around £3. Match was pretty much perfect. Used it on my OE wheels as well and it covered well.

Or is the damage bad enough that it needs repairing and filling first?

?? Without coming across negative..... what about championship white?? Just a thought. ......

Honda, NH0 touch up pen, job done.

ps: the title of the post and the question being asked do contradict them selves somewhat. haha. A refurb would bring them back to as new condition though, much better than any touch up.

I hear you can't get championship white though,true? I don't want the slightest difference I like genuine honda championship white!!

Thats why I said honda..... As genuine as they come. Haha

And thats why I also said a refurbishment will be better than touch up

Championship white? Do they do refurbs there? They expensive?

 

[Dan Evans]

Think you're misunderstanding mate...The touch ups are available genuine from any honda dealer. Jimmer is just saying that a refurb will always be better than a touch up.

 

[Rom]

If your anal enough to what a perfect colour match....a touch up isnt going to cut it.

It will always look touched up.

A refurb is probably your best way forward. Looking at £400 for a refurb.

Yes, that's what I've been quoted to have my OEM silver alloys done in Gloss or Championship white.

Where did you get yours done mate if you don't mind me asking?

Also, didn't you do some preparation work yourself from what I recall?

Dropped them off with a guy called the wheel man in a town close to me. He does wheel refurbs for porshe and Aston Martin. No I didn't do any prep work I just dropped the wheels off

 

[Crazylegs]

Christ, he's cheap.

Where is he based? Mine are a bit of a mess though mate. Does he charge more if they need more work doing to them?

Based in Barnstaple north devon.my wheels weren't curbed just scratched up and faded slightly flaky paint. Can't see him charging more to be honest. He's an old guy that works out of a shed but I can't complain about the job he done

 

[Crazylegs]

It's far away from me as I'm North Wales but I'm still tempted to go to him especially at that price.

I wonder if he'd let me deliver them to him rather than have to travel all the way down perhaps?

 

[integraleo]

To be honest around here that's normal price nothing special,just ask around a few places near you and get some more quotes. 400 seems vastly overpriced for a simple wheel refurb

I've seen wheels that have been anodised and they look great.

Does anyone know what the difference is? Thought about getting mine done that way.

Yeah I think I will.

There's a place called Wheelsmart but they're mega expensive.

I might ask around and see if anyone can do it for cheap, or cheaper than what I've been quoted, thanks mate.

 

[Dan Evans]

£400 is nowhere near.

Around £40 a wheel is good value, but I'd budget about £200ish for it

 

[Rom]

Anodising is a electrochemical coating.
Wheel is submerged in liquid, current applied through it. And voila.

I have to agree, £400 is steep.
I had a car painted, which cost around £3k. So hardly a cheap bodyshop (work was impeccable, engine out, pretty much bare shell) and they only charged me £250 to acid dip (I think it was) shot blast, and paint. Including faffing around with stickers before lacquer.
Rims weren't terrible, but needed some repair work too.
