Hi All

Dragged an alloy along a kerb this morning which started my day nicely....now one of my previously unmarked alloys is a mess.

Anybody recommend somewhere to get it refurb'd - Cupar/Leuchars or Dundee area?

Cheers

Try Wheelcoat in Leven

Had a few sets done there now and they've always been spot on.

I'd recommend Mikey at Fife Powder Coaters in Glenrothes... had a few sets done now and his work is excellent and very reasonable - he was doing a deal for £180 for a drive in, drive out service, though not sure if that is still running.

I used fife powder coaters earlier this year. Would not go back or recommend.

Each wheel has a thin patch on one spoke (maybe from where the wheel was being suspended?), I had to take one of the centre caps back as it had dirt in the paint and was poorly finished and the paint is now flaking on all centre caps after only a handful of washes.

Thanks for that info - good to know.

Cheers.

We Restore Alloys are Glenrothes based and have came highly recommended to us.

Made contact recently and was impressed at the lengths gone to via email to explain the process.

I’ve not managed to book in yet but will use them when time allows.

We Restore Alloys quoted me £400+vat to do my 18's and given the mess they returned a wheel they'd taken a flat spot out of... I graciously declined.

WheelCoat in Leven did a set of my alloys recently and I was really impressed with the finish and the service by Damon.

He dropped and collected me from Markinch station as I was travelling from Edinburgh which was a huge help.
