The usual. Flaking paint, peeling lacquer, sinking primer/filler, milky lacquer/reduced gloss, paint fade.

But any chips and damage is your fault not mine. Plus corrosion isnt covered.

Nitin just ask him....

Is that a full wheel paint? Front and back of wheel?

What guarantee do you get and is that inc vat?

What paint and lacquer does he use?

There is a reason why i charge £240 Inc vat and give a lidetime guarantee with wheels.

With wheels colour try
Honda Stout Silver code NH75M or OEM Sebring Silver. I use both of these on Honda silver wheels.
Rats,

It's just one of the 'Mobile Alloy wheel company' van I saw driving around. Got his number and I've been flirting with him ever since. :hurr:

Front and back wheel paint.

2 primer coats, 5 paint coats and 3 lacquer coats. :idea:

It's got one year guarantee on it. :arrow:

I think it's a good value. :oops:

Honestly the amount of paint coats is irrelavent since different guns and different techniques means different thickness of paint etc.
Go for it if you thinks its good value. £160 is reasonable IMO.
At 2 hours a wheel minimum id want double that to make a business :lol:

I've seen their work, was not a happy chappy. Dull finish really took the shine off the price.
