painting wheels

could be an enquiry for any section that but as you 4 valve boys are the poseurs of this Ducati world ;-) lol you might know the answer to this.

Painting Ducati wheels? Anybody know who would do this in the South East? And apx cost?

What finishes? Powder coating? Looking at satin black.

My wheels were powder coated for £25 per wheel, but I'm in SW I'm afraid - just use this as a price gauge.

You'll be needing to knock out the bearings etc so get those replaced at the same time and they'll be as good as a new set of wheels.

Have had my frame & swinging arm powder coated by Triple-S in Barnsley (or Bingley or Bolton or somewhere equally Southern ). Finish is excellent & turnaround (door to door) within a week. Not cheap tho', £250 all in. Wheels must be cheaper.

can u just get them powder coated black and not have any painting done? Is this a tough finish?

Ian/Matt,

My mag Marchesini's are showing signs of "filiform" corrosion under the paint finish..I was thinking of getting them stripped and recoated.
I rekon they need a "chemical conversion coating" (Alodine 1200) to etch the surface prior to coating.
Can you give me the number of the East Grinstead place and I'll check if they can do Magnesium Alloy wheels.
Ta,
Richard
