lee grout Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 blimey como mo's! they must have set you back a bit unless you managed to get a once in a lifetime deal £625 which I thought was really good. 1 small scuff & 1 small chip. Otherwise just light marks. Oh and pretty much brand spanking new tyres. Were on eBay for 650, the guy didn't want to post so didn't bid. They never sold so I msg him and said if I organise courier would he pack them and he did! Also for delivery, recommend paisley freight. Cost me £33 for next day delivery from county Durham to Dawlish...( 5 3/4 hours journey.....1 way!) picked up 1 pm and delivered 10.00 am next day! While your here slee' can powder coat be polished I.e the light marks? Also if I find a powder coater local, can they touch up chips? Cheers.

SLEEMAN Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm sure powdercoated parts etc can be polished if you use a suitable polish that does the job. If you have a mini air polisher that would help if its parts etc. and for touch ups not really. Powdercoating can only be one process of shot blasting and powder coating the whole thing!
