Florida wheel refinish
Just got my hollow Turbo twist from the VW forum- I do not like the scratches and one wheel has 2 dents on the rim edge. Anyone know someone good in Florida who can make these wheels look like new and not charge a fortune?

Hand finishing is lot$ of work. Good materials are pricey.I like to bring the undercoat 1000 grit before applying color. Here is a black 996 front wheel in PPG black base coat almost ready for its clear coat.

I dropped my Intake and Cam Covers at ArmorTech this morning. In a couple of weeks I can let you know how it went. A small shop and the owner is a retired guy. He had a few wheels and other auto parts there, seemed OK

I've had good luck with "Wheels America" don't know if they have a operation in Florida, but a quick web check will tell you.
