Not sure if any of you remember but i had my wheels resprayed due to brake dust knackering them. Well after a session of road salt and brake dust, my wheels have gone back to how they were
Nice waste of £200 but i wasn't to know.

Anyway, can anyone tell me if the plastic coating that you can have done will keep the brake dust at bay?

Or am i best of buying some new alloys?

Thanks

You need to powdercoat not paint as its a lot more durable.

Also, use a decent wheel sealant, like the poor boys stuff.

Cheers for the replies gents

How much am i looking at for the powder coating?
Is it worth me doing or just getting a nice set of Buddy Club alloys? :green:

Its the same as paint...about £45 a wheel.

I'll have a look around at some companies

Do a search for a RAL number. :idea:

RAL? Whats this? I know its probably obvious but its late and my brain has stopped working 8-[ :lol:

Its a colour code, like a paint code.

There's a really good company in Blackpool who has your wheels collected and dropped back and they are powder coated and top quality it's called pxwheels.com and the guys name is Gordon a really nice bloke.

Im hoping to get the colour i had them resprayed put back on. Rolls Royce Silver Sand, really nice flip effect if they can do it?

Im going to give a local company a ring first, see what they can offer

I went through this last winter, and it has happened again this year.

But I painted my wheels myself last time and it gives me a good excuse to go for a colour change
