Re-finishing costs?

Can someone give me a rough estimate on what it would cost to refinish some wheels in...

Polish for all 4

Paint for all 4

Chrome for all 4
and
Brushed for all 4

Thanks,
Elliott

chrome is more than polishing
paint should be cheaper than either.
believe it or not there shops all over the country that do this stuff.
ever try polishing something yourself? it doesnt take much and is suprisingly easy.
i did a valve cover a few years ago for little sr20. turned out great.
it fucking took me like 6 hours though, no joke.
whatever they charge is worth it.

Very true. All the info/techniques you need can be found for free online. All the stuff you need can be found at hardware/auto parts stores... just takes A LOT OF FREAKIN TIME to do it :sad:

You need to have alot of time and patience. Even then, it might not come out as good as a shop would do it with machines.
