   £30 to £40 each per wheel to get refurbed in a different colour or the same colour.

   Black id say but paid to get them wet-coated
   
   Similar to powder coated but much smoother and shinier

    when spraying alloys, is it fine to do it straight out of a spray can, or would you get a better result with a spray gun?

    where do you buy gear?
    metal filler is around 6 quid
    primer is about a fiver
    and can get a litre of transport black for 12 quid inclusive of vat or any other standard colour.
    all the rest your own time and effort so i reckon you could do it yourself for around 30 quid

    if you got them on the cheap, DIY
    
    if you paid a bit, pay a bit more and get a pro refurb them

    4/5 wheels will need more than one layer and one can
    
    Sandpaper, masks, tape, etc etc each little thing adds up dude...

    Get them wet-coated or sprayed properly by a pro unless you have good conditions and a whole weekend spare to dedicate on doing them properly
    
    Great guide again Jim and Alex
