Grimeca 5-Spoke Wheels - Restoration/Respray Advice

[wiggle]

I'm looking to get these Grimeca wheels powder coated and sprayed with the intention of putting them on a retro mountain bike. Would anyone be able to suggest a company who would do a good spray job at a reasonable price. I've not decided on the colour yet, but I want the bike to be fun so I'll probably opt for something bright.

Also, does anyone have an idea as to the year that these were made? Any other thoughts on the wheels would be greatly appreciated as well.

Re:

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I've heard of Argos for paint sprays, but they can be quite expensive. Are there any other companies out there who do a good job for a reasonable price?

any local powdercoater can do something

I wouldn't bother though, they're not much cop.

They do lots of car and motorcycle wheels, so they should be able to help you out. Don't bother e-mailing them though, they're a bit old fashioned, best to phone them.

The issue you might have is with the braking surface.
