Alloy Colours - sheppy1 - 2:nd-Oct-2015

Hi All [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I'm wanting to have my alloys sprayed a different colour and have a few questions :

1. Whats a good price to pay a garage to have all 4 done?

2. Anyone got any ideas what colour would look good with a gunmetal grey car? I wanted black but black, grey and silver chrome is a bit much and mismatched!

Cheers

price's vary so much the av is around £50 a wheel (for a basic respray). If you want a proper job then take them to a proper wheel place where they will strip the wheel.

This costs abit more but most places offer a package deal for the 4 wheels.

I was quoted £120 for all 4 done in Anthracite. This is up North where everything is cheaper though haha.

Hahaha too right it is! have to get something for dealing with rain all year round lol. Hmmmm well I've found a place quotiing 160 but again not sure what colour would go with my car!

It's costing me £360 for all 4 to be done, that's a full paint strip repair the alloy I kurbed and repaint in the Audi colour (that's the closest colour match to what I have).

Oh damn! Probably more than I'd need to have done to mine though. Just a spray would be fine. Only have minor stone chips on them so doesn't need repairing or anything

I wouldn't go gloss black mate looks Chavy and very common.

RE: Alloy Colours - sheppy1 - 4:th-Oct-2015

Damn [PENSIVE FACE] I kinda like them... Silver alloys are more common! Ha. Maybe like a gunmetal matte grey then?

Hey what's wrong with black alloys. They look good on some cars. Don't think they stand out on darker coloured colours though.

RE: Alloy Colours - sheppy1 - 4:th-Oct-2015

Hahaha he basically called you a chav mate! You gonna stand for that? [WINKING FACE] hard to find alloy Colours that go well with my colour car! But yeah, second ones would look great on a white car!

I've been called worse haha, I like them on my car but agree they don't look right on every car. I love the limited edition alloys but they are like golddust.

Alloy Colours - sheppy1 - 4:th-Oct-2015

Agreed! You on about these ones? Saw them today when I was with the Mrs picking out her next car [WINKING FACE] ha

haha on a white car I can sort of get black alloy's, but it's just too common, need something different to stand out.

It's looks chavy on dark coloured cars.

@sheppy1 your be a chav going black with your car Couch

What about gold or glow in the dark Pink?

RE: Alloy Colours - sheppy1 - 5:th-Oct-2015

Gold! Now you're on to something... Like a Subaru!... Smart ass [WINKING FACE] hahaha

I like the black on grey car alloys because we went to the vauxhall garage today to get the Mrs a new car (the one below) and I thought they looked fit! My car is the same colour

I don't even know what mine are called but I've got a white VX Line 2.0CDTI and they're in gunmetal grey and look amazing I think
