Yeah sorry if I didn't make it clear - dad had the front left refurbed about three / three and a half years ago and its still absolutely mint! He did the remaining three in Sept to match. We bought the car in April 2008 from Audi, but they'd wet painted the faces on the cheap and they were flaking to pieces.cfcdoc wrote:Mine are powder coated the titan colour(havent got the foggiest what the code is) by fontain. They did all the work, code searching etc, so am considering returning to them or audi, last thing i want is one wheel looking a different shade to the others. If anyone knows what the titan wheel colour code is, i might ask wheel specialist, the advantage of audi is a courtesy car as wheel specialist say(on their website) if its over 18in youre looking at 48hrs minimum, cant be audi-less for that long (I could drive the mini but cant be arsed)chunky79 wrote:I know people want to know how good they look straight after the refurb but it's really how long they stay looking good that counts. Some refurbs will start to flake or change colour in a couple of months.
You could always try looking on detailing world as people will post up their wheels and thoughts months after.
I'm looking to getting mine re done soon as i curbed one of mine and the tyre fitters did a great job of fu**ing them up. I had mine powder coated last time and think it was probably a bad move as it's harder to sort out so i'm told.
Good luck with the search anyway

Sadly the wheel I asked Fontain to refurb as part of the prep of my S4 when I bought it two years ago is now the worst on the car, it has flaked to pieces! Annoyingly if I'd left it as it was (with about a half inch kerb mark on the rim) it would probably have remaining in better condition than it is now!
