£500 To Paint Wheels ?

[spiritof'76]

Have Ford lost the plot They're going to charge 500 notes to paint your Focus RS wheels white to celebrate the end of the production run

Surely you could do it yourself for half that

......... and with all those spokes who would want the wheels in White anyway

I doubt they would do a set of 19s for that . I get wheels done all the time, and there is a sliding scale for the price depending on the size....

A friend just had his 8x18 Rays wheels done last week. £60. The reason its so cheap is because it goes in with the other parts being done at the time. He doesn't care what size its just beer tokens for him

Also he did my rocker cover and inlet mani for a score

theres a big difference here between mates rates and standard company charges.

i do see it on several websites where people quote prices that are very cheap then let slip its mates rates or in with a bigger job etc as a favour.

to balance it out i can get it done for free so beat that and it also includes the blasting too

Who said he was a mate? Just found his place in the industrial estate and used every now and then since. I don't even know his name!

Too many people just except being ripped off, £500 to have wheels painted is just robbery.

i can beat that. my mate does powdercoating and he pays me.
