Looks like it transformed from a Yellow R26 - with the gunmetal rims IIRC - to a Yellow Pirelli already. Can't complain about that...
Are you able to put ballpark what this tye of job *should * cost, I'd love to get it done to my denvers (on TR) but don't want to walk out on a good deal, or getting ripped either.

FINALLY, the guy got back to me....

USUALLY he asks for $700 which includes sandblasting, powdercoating etc

He is willing to do it for $600/set for four wheels for forum members......

You can come inspect my wheels & the finished job if your still questioning his quality of work....
