Default Recommendation for painting wheels

I have a 2014 FType S v8 in black with black wheels. The wheels are in excellent shape (one small area requiring repair) except for the finish. The DPO used some form of caustic wheel cleaner that has left permanent streaks in the paint.

I would like to have them refinished either in black or silver. Can anyone recommend a shop in the GTA for this kind of work?

Other suggestions or ideas are welcome!

thanks
steve

I am not near you....But any good Powder Coating shop can handle the job. They typically strip the wheels down and then apply the powder coating, and they have lots of available finishes and colors. You will have a more durable finish that way, as opposed to painting them.

Good luck.

Agreed that powder coating is the way to go. The Dent Wizard bought my shop here that powder coats my wheels in the past and still do it for about $125 wheel which seems more than reasonable. Pick any color you want and the wheel comes back like new. It includes fixing any rash on the wheel.
