I asked for them to be finished in bronze\/anthracite but after Jeff at TPC heard what car they were for recommended I try smoked chrome instead &#8211; always good to listen to the experts on these occasions!!<\/p>\n<p>After 3 days the car was ready for collection with both sets of wheels looking better than new! Watch the video below to see exactly what was involved.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LnUn4QwXyIA \" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Tallaght Powdercoting \u00a0is today owned and run by Suzanne, Michelle and Andrew Dowdall. The Business was set up 30 years ago by their Dad and run\u00a0from a garden shed at the family home. Following redundancy he had taken \u00a0a FAS course in powdercoating and the idea for the business was born. A family business from the beginning\u00a0the girls with their other siblings were roped in after school and on weekends to earn some pocket money! Michelle had even mastered the art of powdercoating at the tender age of 12! Once demand grew they moved to a bigger premises in Ballymount.\u00a0Initially they concentrated on the industrial sector but as recession hit and as business slowed down attention was turned to the motor industry &#8211; specialising in alloy wheels, motorbikes and bicycles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10519 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/banner-1024x479.jpg\" alt=\"Tallaght Powdercoating\" width=\"838\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/banner-1024x479.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/banner-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/banner.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Last year they moved to a state of the art premises in Ballymount to further expand the business and now have a 7m oven to ensure no project is too big!
