Hi small update ,The managing director at Wheel Works has sent one of my spare wheels off to Germany to get the exact paint ,What he said is there is a tint in the laquer to obtain this finish and yes it can be done 100% right .The company he uses for paint supply the BBS factory
What I dont think he is going to do is make his findings available to joe public ,why would he ?? he is prepaired to go to the trouble of sorting out the colour and obtaining it from the german company that supplies BBS .But he said he is happy to do anyones wheels if they want them done
I will get 1 wheel done as a sample to check against my 5 OEM rims then get the other 5 done in early sept .If any one wants theres done when they see my finished product i will forward you his number .
He is doing 50 wheels a day 6 days a week ,he knows his stuff and tbh I dont think he is bull sh*tting when he said he can do it and get it right .
I watched them working on some wheels on Saturday morning ,they put the rims in paint stripping tanks then neutralise the stripper ,They then place 4 wheels in a special blast cleaning unit for 15 seconds the wheels come out like brand new castings,
Then they go for painting first up is a powder coat primer in to the oven to bake then, out to the spray booth for colour coating back in to the oven to stove the finish, back in to the booth for the last coat being laquer finally into the oven for the final stoving ,when this is complete they allow them to cool down and refit the tyres and balance them prior to colection by you the customer,
very very impressed
