[urq] Wheel refinishing

[Jim Haseltine]

First time I had my wheels done they left the rear faces in primer so I blew 
them over with an aerosol of silver paint. Looked ok, but the entire finish 
couldn't take the beating of being used every day on British roads 
(especially with the salt used during the winter) and after a couple of 
years looked crap - the rear faces were awful. Brake dust had eaten into the 
lacquer and even compounding wouldn't remove the stuff - that's why I went 
for powder coat this time. OK, they aren't exactly the correct colour but 
they are close enough and I had the added pleasure of meeting the person who 
did the coating -  a stunning mid-30's blond. Can't wait until I've got an 
excuse to have another set of rims coated....

Regards,
