   I have a brand new car im collecting tonight. And i want the standard alloys black, but obv i dont fancy doing it myself. I need the car to use to commute to work. Whats the best option?? Any local company's that could do that in a day in the manchester area? or any other ideas?
   Cheers dudes.

   Yeh i thought that but just did some searching and there are 'mobile technicians' that say they can be done in a day by baking them under a heat lamp? but they were not local to manchester.

   i got mine stripped and powder coated near birmingham, they have a 6hour turn around even if you drive there in your car with the wheels on the car. the prices are very reasonably and they do excellent work
   
   look in my progres thread for pics
   
   pm me for more details if your are interested
