    Posted: 08-July-2009 at 23:33
My alloy locking centre caps are looking a little worse for wear due to water ingress, I thought of having a go at respraying them myself but am worried about the colour match.  Can anyone recommend a place that will repaint the wheels and caps and give me a set of wheels on loan, along with a rough idea on costs?

There is no where decent locally.Turrif tyres would be your best bet .but if they aint scraped etc why not get a good bodyshop to do them like Kinghorn

There is a good place in Inverurie, I'll ask my mate the details I am not sure of his name.  All the Scooby guys use him.

What's your email Stephen?

Cheers

Daz

Thanks Pete and Daz for your recommendations and contact numbers, I appreciate it

I had a proper look at the wheels and it's only the alloy centre caps that need tidying up, so I'm going to have a go at spraying them, if I make a right cork-up of it then I'll put them to a proper refurbing place.

i sprayed my centre caps, lacquered them and put on new alpina badges, rather surprisingly i found the best colour match for the existing alloy to be a peugeot colour - "aluminium metallic"
