Default Photos of new painted callipers and colour changed alloys

Hi guys, we all love to see photos so I thought I’d post a few photos of the brilliant work done by Steve at xpressalloys.com

Steve came to me so there was no need to leave my Audi for days on end. He has a large wheel repair workshop and spray booth in the back of his truck.

He operates across Dorset and charges £120 to paint all 4 calipers plus £8 for the heat / oil / weather resistant calliper stickers. I also had my 19” OEM alloys colour changed from silver to gloss black. For this Steve charged £60 per alloy wheel. The whole process took Steve 1 long day as he said the intricate pattern on the alloys make them difficult to spray. . Very reasonable prices and I’m over the moon with the results. I have no link with Steve and this is the first time I’ve used him but definitely recommended men’s him and his work.

I’ve ordered new black Centre caps but so many people have said they actually prefer the silver centre cap on the gloss black alloys. What do you think?
