Finally getting round to getting my Serpents refurbed, and after seeing Micks results with his Meteors going to have a go.. Just after some advice on which silver/brand to use?

Sparkle Silver I belive is the correct MG/Rover colour.
Cheers Ian

Here we go again

like Meteors there's 2 colours for serpents, the most popular is MNH Sparkle Silver but some later ones were MBS Liquid Silver

Hi Kevin

Before you embark on this journey, have a look at city powder coaters website in Birmingham, they will refurbish your wheels for £20 a wheel, mine are in there at the moment, priced up all the stuff to do myself and for an extra £30 have got them powder coated, much more durable than spray paint, matched up one of their Sparkle silver rims with my center cap and it was spot on

http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/#!

Worth looking at......

Lyndon

If it hadn't been so far away I'd have dropped my Volvo wheels in to be done at that price

Man thats a bargain price on the powder coat, wish we had someone like that near me.

Bought a complete set from 2deisels and had them powder coated in the North East, and they cost £50 per wheel, but that included having the tyres fitted and balaced as well

So £20 a wheel is outstanding value, wish we could get them done up here for that price
