Just a word of warning guys, Romax did excellent job on my wheels recently, however they made complete balls up of balancing new rear tyres on the rims after refurbing as there machine doesn't accomodate wider wheels so they put rubber spacer on which obviously is not correct, ended up having to get redone at Tyrespot on team valley next to the Wagon pub and they were bang on!

I just tried out Pheonix Shotblasting the other week, great job they did as well.. and cheaper then Romax (£30 a wheel i got charged)
Where are Phoenix shotblasting?Is their blast cabinet big enough to accomodate say . . . a Mini pickup bodyshell?

Not too sure how big it is, but the lad was telling me that the guy behind them restores VW's and he gets chassis and things done there, so I would assume its big enough for a mini... Just pop down and ask.
Chaps, it's hardly rocket-science to blast old paint off and spray powdered plastic on, then wheel into a big oven for an hour. They should all be as good as each other. Christ, I can do it in my garage (but not wheels, sorry 
).
Personally I use Teesdale Powdercoating, part of Motorcool. Not because they're cheaper than R****, but because I don't get a load of abuse when I turn up with a van load of work for them, like I got from your mate at R**** some years ago. If he was too busy all he had to do was say so, not start f-ing and blinding about 'a load of crap'. That load of crap was processed instead (and cheaper, though that's irrelevant here) by Teesdale and subsequently sold for thousands of pounds, so it wasn't so crappy after all.
I don't deal with companies, I deal with people. Their flash houses, cars and Spanish villas depend on my money; if they can't be courteous, they don't get it.
