hi there all i want to refurb my wheels before i get new tyres

so how much would it cost to get some one to repaint them or powder coat them

rates for powdercoating vary from place to place, but you could do it on your own. Harbor Freight has a gun for *cheap* but don't know about the quality. Craftsman (Sears) has a nice kit for around $200. Should be cheaper than going to a pro, and it's not that hard. No drips or runs!

Had a bunch of powder coating done over winter. I paid £20 per rim (gloss black)

Here is a place I just found, they have estimate prices so you can get an idea, no doubt someone will do it cheaper, bad part is normally the postage so maybe a local coater would be ideal.
