I've decided to have mt wheels coloured the same as the "amber" bits on the rest of the bike. Not having done this before, should I:
Any idea how much it will cost and where I can get them done ?? . |

Would definitely say get them powder coated rather than painted...
PM Viney, I am sure his wheels are powder coated and from what I remember when friends have had stuff done, its not tooo expensive...

From what i have heard, Powder coating gives the best finish, and on a fine bike such as a gixer
![]() I have heard £50 (that is either total or per wheel can't remember which) |

Worth putting this one up in Biking Issues as I would be most interested in the suggestions and the differences and pros and cons of both!
![]() You will have to tell me where you get it done when you do! ![]() |

As requested, moved from Soho to Biking Issues (I put it in Soho as I was after the number of a local place that could carry out the work).

steve, if you find somewhere reasonably priced, let us all know - would also be good to have a 'how to' re: preparing your wheels/ etc for powdercoating...
(want mine done too, but black!) BTW, don't you think the orange wheels might make your gixxer look less classy? try it in photoshop 1st - may look minging... ![]() |
