Hi

Just had my camper sprayed and steel wheels are looking tatty. Just need to be blasted and painted silver. Any recommendations in North East London/Essex/Herts Borders? Or in London general?

Thanks

Just bought a Speedshop one today for my DJ 2.1, this was the best option for the price, was going for a standard steel one, but thought be better to buy SS. Couldn't afford the Brickwerks SS one.

Will give details once fitted next week.
