If u do not repair the scratches

It will look very ugly if a layer of spray goes over it right?
(at least sand it with sand paper and make the scratches looks smoother)

Whats the price?

I believe so. If the scratchs are too deep there's no way the paint is able to cover it (unless the paint is a veryvery thick layer, but if its too thick it will be peel off easily)

So I guess some sanding is still required before painting. but again too much sanding will have wheel balancing problem. the balancing maynot be a prefect one.

most wheel/tyre shops can repair the scratched wheels.
wheels can be sprayed with any colours you want, as long as they are preped properly and applied etch primer before applying colours

I can direct u guys to my regular workshop and ask them to give u guys good price...... dun worry abt quality.... can look at mine if u guys are worried.... i will be at kallang for the meet, so u all can "scrutinise" my rims..... :D :D

as for colour of rims, juz tell the shop aga aga wat colour u wan and ask them to mix for u a sample....... if u guys like my rim colour, tell the auntie, she noes me......... mine is special mix... colour code is in the auntie's brain....

san hup??? pardon me but where is dat??

$140 for 4 rims means $35 per rim? dats a pretty good price...

normal spray paint shop dun do caliper painting cos their paint cannot withstand high temp.....

but becos my regular workshop got high temp paint, they can help u spray the calipers while ur wheels are being sent for spray painting.....

I can certainly direct u to my regular workshop and they will help u from there. Dun worry, i will call them n say u r going there, so that they can give u the best price possible. But do let them assess ur rims condition 1st.
