Default Powder coating / wheel refurb

I know this has been done to death already, but as there's been so many threads, it makes the search function almost redundant, so here goes again..........

Having just sniped Surfer CRX's OEM V1's, I now need to sort out some powder coating for them. I've used The Wheel Specialists previously - they do a great job, but you pay a premium because of their same day service, which I don't need this time, so can anyone recommend any alternative companies that I could look at for a quote, either national or in the Hants/Dorset area?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks.......

Try PaintitUK.

BTW; gloss black with diamond cut faces looks superb.

I'm chasing a set of V1's and will then get this done

Agreed, but diamond cutting is usually a bit pricey, which defeats the object of second hand wheels, especially when I'm toying with a set of AD08s that I don't need

Just had mine refurbished at Lepsons with a diamond cut, really great job and would use them again. Really helpful.

Powder coating is easy and loads of places do it pretty well

I got my BM 19s done for £180 albeit they were pretty mint

Going to get my winter wheels done as they go flat now they're so corroded

I take it back..... Lepsons' and Paintit's diamond cut prices are really good so I might yet get the black/diamond cut combo done........

I used auto-wheels in the middle of nowhere near Droxford - I was going to get mine diamond cut but they were too badly kerbed and would have required £50 laser welding on three of the four (plus refurb + cutting) Diamond cutting was well priced and they can do it on site.
