Is 8k reasonable for mags refurbish? (minimal scratches)
Need ideas how does usually refurbishing/repolishing/repair for a minimal scratches costs.
Nag inquire ako dati sa isang shop for a full repaint and polish and they gave me a price of 5.5k for a 16x7 mags (I'm using VLF that time). That time, hindi natuloy yung pag paparepaint kase napag isep isep ko na wala naman gasgas mags ko and it was just for all aesthetics lang talaga kaya di ko na tinuloy since di praktikal.
This time, bumili ako ng 2nd hand mags from a person na nakikita ko rin minsan sa car scene and meets. It has minimal scratches as shown in the picture. Nag inquire ulit ako sa repainting shop na pinag tanungan ko dati. I told them I want the middle to be painted as silk silver and the lip to be polished and they gave me a quotation of 2k each rim (a set of 4 will cost 8k). Pag dating ko sa painting shop, sabi nila, bago bago pa daw yung paint ng chrome kaya suggest nila ipopolish nalang instead of paint. Narealize ko na onga hindi naman damaged ang gitna para papalitan ko ng paint. Gusto ko lang sana na silk silver yung paint nya, kase isa yun sa stock color ng VS XV. Anyways pumayag ako na i-polish nalang at ayusin yung mga gutter marks. I asked if may mag babago ba sa price, they said same lang din.
Do you think 8k for a refurbish/repolish is okay? di pa ko nakakapag inqure sa ibang shop kaya di ko alam usually mag kano presyuhan dito. Feel ko kaya mas mahal yung price this time kase maraming spokes yung mags + may mga rivets.
