Anyone know of a good company for respraying wheels? Just won an auction on eBay for a spare rear wheel for the GSXR600 trackbike (£24, bargain!) but it could do with a respray. Can anyone recommend somewhere? Any ideas roughly how much it'll cost?

I would go for powder coating rather than spraying.

It's a trackbike, I'd just leave it scabby.

I agree with bendy to repaint it, it will cost anything up to £80 put an intermediate or wet tyre on instead with the money Thumbs Up

I don't like things looking scabby... Razz (I still need the other bits anyway so will be doing nothing with it at the moment).

Already got the wets. Just need a front wheel, sprockets etc.

Incidently, I found a place just up the road from me who'd shot blast it and powder coat it for £35.
