Was gonna ask about getting wheels done too but don't think I'll bother...

I've used City Powdercoaters a lot many years ago, but not since they've been revamped, so I dropped off my Speedlines to get done.
Here is a pic of them before (sorry for poor pic, only one I have to hand), they were curbed around the outer edges, I had tyres removed a while back, so I supplied just wheels to them.
I then dropped them off and wanted anthracite, they offer 3 different shades, lighter, darker and one inbetween, he said most people opt for inbetween, then asked to see the car and also suggested the inbetween one. So that is £20 a wheel as it is classed as "standard" colour.
I picked them up yesterday, here are the final pics:
For £80 it's utterly bonkers lol.
I also split my centre caps, as they won't powdercoat them (being plastic), but I went to a place nearby and got some paint matched to the wheel colour, so I will have them matching and painted soon.
So if anyone is after a good refurb for flip all money, get on down to them, I am lucky as they are pretty local.
Their pricing is:
* £20 a wheel (for standard colour, with no tyre, week turnaround)
* £30 a wheel (for standard colour, tyre removal and refit, week turnaround)
* £40 a wheel (for standard colour, tyre removal and refit, same day service (drop off at 8am, pick up at 5pm))
* £45 a wheel if you drop off the car, they'll store the car, remove wheels and do the "£40 a wheel" offer.
They charge a bit more for non-standard colours, I think it was £5 a wheel (PS they have quite a range of standard colours, only if as the person above you want bright green for example).

Yep Sean, bargain really, I remember the first time I used them (this was MANY years ago, 2009 maybe? Or 2010) they were just ok, I had to reject a set twice due to imperfections, but they got progressively better, but I heard they went under new management in the last couple of years and revamped, the wheels all look bang on really, a few mates are now going to get theirs done (one being a Megane RS250) he's gonna drop it off and come to mine for the day.
I refurbed a set of brembos for £150 - so seals, dust boots, blasted, stickers and paint! And they were a custom colour!!Think I'm gonna use these guys one day...

Where was that done @Northloopcup ? As I am considering getting another set to get refurbed and swap over.
I did them mate for my 172 cup. Did a custom brake kit for it.
