    how much should a chrome shadow refinish run?

    was ambushed by a bodyshop guy offering to refinish my wheels (admittedly, they're in rough shape -- thanks PO). what's a good rate for a good job? He's asking $1k...

    IMO its a good idea to stay away from anyone who's sales tactic is "ambushing" people

    I also think thats a little high for that finish, thats "Pay Prince to do it and pocket some myself" money

    My wheels look awful these days. Were powder coated over 10 years ago, the wrong color, and need to be redone.

    What's the contact info for Prince again? I forget where they are? They are the ones that all the e39 M5 guys go to as well, right?

    Edit: also, have any S54/Chrome Shadow folks gone back to Brilliant on their roadstars? As an estoril owner, I've always liked the Brilliant color more than Chrome Shadow. I do like CS on my Anthracite e39 M5 though.

    Prince Wheels somewhere in North Carolina

    I rather like the lighter finish on estoril but you can also get chrome shadow done on the lighter side

    I'm hearing the group price is $145/wheel if they get 4 or more sets to do...
