Is it expensive to have them refurbished in OEM finish then?

Try Paint it Uk in Billericay Essex.

Just had my Golf wheels done in shadow chrome which is high power silver over black for £285.. Which includes full factory refurb, tyres rebalanced/valves etc

19"s will be a little more but also insured for 3yrs.

Shadow Chrome is used by most refurbers using a Black base coat, however when my CSL is parked beside my Dads Mk.4 Anniversary, they look nothing like the colour on mine eg. Silver Chrome using a Grey base coat.

The colour code is A55. Not all paint suppliers have this.

Greetings.

The original base coat is black but if you are not using the original paint it wont matter.
