My local "smart repairer" freely admits to working for all the big franchises in the London area, including some we know & love.

He freely admits that his sand, prime & paint system will not produce lasting results, even when dried under IR lights. Dealers don't like spending cash & just want it to look good when the customer collects. They also drive a hard bargain.

I'm a little obsessive about things, is the finish the same all over the wheel?

I would love to see the 'back of the wheel' (for wants of a better word) to be perfectly finished too.
