   A place local to me refurbs all 4 wheels and sprays them all to the colour you want for £120, so I'd say that's about right.

   +1 To this really they can now do any colour in any finish and it will last a hell of a lot longer most places charge about £2 a inch to blast and powdercoat. And you get a finish that is next to none and will last the life of the wheel if you treat them well.

    Welcome mate, depends what you want ideally...do you mean to buy paint and do them yourself? Get them painted pro or powedercoated?
    
    I've had mine coated and paid £1.50 per inch, per wheel....the calipers I did myself masking off carefully and brushing with some hammerite or caliper paint.
