Just out of interest, how severe a curbing can they repair ^^

I bought some 04 lib rims cheapies but they are a little damaged. Would look great a tone or two darker and with a matt finish...

Does any1 have pics they can post up of either wheelgleam or bbk's work? Not sure about p/coating due to limited range of colours. Was thinking of going grey if powdercoated, but may stay with gold if painted. Thoughts??



Cheers,
Josh

Pretty sure both Balistic and Impresiv got their rims recently painted by BBK.

I'd go a gunmetal colour.

Pretty much any colour, and its powder coating.

Yes contact tim as he's the best one to talk to.

I just had Richard Dellow (Barb & Darrell's son) paint another set of mine up in shadow bronze recently... came out beautifully. Paint finish was good and I have NEVER seen so much clear coat on wheels before!!

You can negotiate price a little with Richard depending on colour you are seeking (Bronze was fricken hard to replicate etc!), but he uses premium paint which often comes with a warrantee etc and will generally cost you somewhere between $350- $400.

PM me for contacts...
