x444wrx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Im changing the colour of my prodrive pff from the grey graphite to either gloss black or colour coding black as the car. Where is the best place or can anyone recommend anyone for the job. Im based in Argyll so Glasgow area or Perth or Stirling im quite happy to go and drop wheels off etc and then recollect.

jamesm Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Chameleon wheels look good when done but the lacquer failed on all 4 of mine within the year. They didn't want to know and told me it was my fault as I must have been using abrasive cleaning products. I was only using soap and water. I know of others who had the same issue. My advise is to go elsewhere. Link to comment
