That's two questions? The 'best' and 'cheapest' don't often go together!
I used Paint it UK in Billericay http://www.paintituk.com/index.asp
Excellent results.

Good luck!
It was the peeling laquar and bubbles after a couple of years from getting them done at JP that made me go somewhere else! During that period I had the wifes Mazda wheels done there and the same thing happened!
With a good choice of places, I certainly won't be using him again.
Think you've chosen the 'cheapest' route?

well iv had good reports about him
maybe you was just unlucky
and two years is a lot of miles , weather , power washing etc etc

Unlucky twice? Hmm.......not impossible, I suppose.
Two years for me was all of 7k miles and I'd noticed problems a while before I got them re-done. The gloss lacquer coat started to lift on the back edges of the spokes (PFF7's) It seemed not to have adhered too well to the base coat (anthracite) The same was true for the Mazda wheels!
I asked around before going there and the consensus was good. Have to admit, it was a bit off putting when I walked into the place
I'm sure there are many people who have had no problems.

well John seems a good bloke , so I'm sure if you would of taken them back he would of sorted them out for you
seems a lot of people won't complain , so then how can the company resolve issues
if mine are ok , then become flaky I will take them back , as I would to any place

any way lets not think negative

as iv said john seems a genuinely nice bloke and I'm sure he would be happy to help in any way he could

I agree, John seemed a friendly and helpful guy, both on the phone and in person and I'm sure he would have sorted things for me. As it was a bit over two years and I'd decided that if they needed to be re-done, I'd have a colour change as well. I bit the bullet and went to Paint-it and I have to admit, the results were a lot better and the service much quicker so I have no regrets in not taking them back to JP
I'm certainly not having a pop at JP just for the sake of it, these are just my findings after using him. Others have fared better.
