Kerb rash

Post by RSrichmond » Tue Aug 21, 2018 6:19 am

Help needed! V spoke lost a fight with a kerb last week! So looking for somewhere in Aberdeen/shire area to repair. Not going down the diamond cutting route, just going to powder coat. Anyway got quoted £405 + vat from the wheel specialist. I then phoned customised coatings newmacher and they said £255 if booked in by the end of this month. Seems cheap anyone used them or any recommendations where else I could try. 👍

Sorry for the hijack. My car is booked in at Prestige wheels in Stockport in a weeks time. Its booked in to have the wheels brought back to OEM spec and therefore keep the diamond finish. The other option I am considering is just to have them finished in one colour and then making any future repairs cheaper and easier.
Can anybody who has gone down the wheel refurb route give any pointers or advice on finish and colour?
My car is daytona grey with black optics.
