OK, I've been looking into this a bit. Here's whats floating around my head on this now;
- A DIY job may end up looking OK, but may have durability issues compared to a professional baked-on powder coating. True?
- The DIY route means masking the tyres as described earlier, but what about the hub bearings?
- A professional job will see the wheels come out, stripped of rubber, disks and bearings, a baked-on hard-as-nails finish and bike handed back again intact after two days for... £120 - £180. Expensive?
I'm dubious about DIY'ing if they end up looking crap after a year or so. A job worth doing is worth doing properly and all that. But £180 seems a bit steep doesn't it? I want some summer leathers too and £180 may be hard to justify on making my wheels look fancy...
What do you all think of my points here? Guide me O' wise ones...
