Hi All
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.

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 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.

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.

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
What about gold or glow in the dark Pink?

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
