Sydney - Need To Get My Lmgt4's Repainted After Car Wash Incident

[Nismo34R]

Hey guys!

As the title states..

I got a set of LMGT4's a few weeks ago fitted to my 34 with new tyres. I decided the other day I wasn't bothered to wash the car so I took it to my local car wash I've been going to for years. Unfortunately one of there new washers decided he liked my rims so much he wanted to degrease my wheels and brakes whilst washing the car. Yesterday I noticed the streak marks and realised whatever degreaser they used has stuffed the paint of my rims.

I took it back straight away and they were most apologetic and offered to pay $300 for re painting and offered me a full detail inc a buffing polish and shampoo and steam clean of my seats and carpet to apologise! I am not going to name and shame them as they felt really really bad.

Now I need to get them repainted - preferably in the same bronze colour too! I've thought about painting them black as my old wheels were d1r's in black.. But this bronze has grown on me! Does anyone know and reputable wheel painters I could trust in and around Sydney? Also does anyone know the paint code for the bronze?

Below is a picture of the worst wheel so you guys can feel my pain lol

Cheers

Hi, Craved Coatings at Penrith paint my rims when required. Chris Thomson can match colours very well. Tyres need to be initially stripped and you'll require replacement stickers (remembering of course which spoke the sticker is applied to). Cost might be about $120/rim including sandblasting.

I should have said "powdercoating" rather than "painting".

fantastic blokes to own up and offer to fix the wheels and other things.

Acid wheel cleaner, nasty shite when not used properly. Too many carwash places use that crap to speed up the cleaning process

+1 Chris at Craved Coatings is the man for this job, I've had him coat heaps of things for me and he has always been good and reasonably priced. And he'll be able to sort the stickers too.

bronze lmgt4 are also anodised not painted, if your going to run flat caps with them might be worth painting some at the same time otherwise very hard to match

Thanks for the replies guys!

I never had a doubt they would throw money my way as I've brought them a lot of customers in over the years as well.

Lidz what's killing me is I bought brand new flat bronze caps which need to be painted now!

I just rang Chris and he was most helpful.. After chatting to him I think I am going to get them done in black.

Terry did he do yours in a Satin black or the Nismo black which is a metallic black with clear over the top?

Does anyone know where I will be able to get a set of genuine stickers obviously in the white font for the black rims as Chris said he can't help me there..

I just sold my old wheels last week as well.. So I'm on the hunt for some cheap stock 34 GTT wheels for I can still get around for the week whilst Chris has my lmgt4's at his shop.

Cheers
