Default Alloy wheel refurbishment in NW England

Anyone got any good recommendations for alloy wheel refurbishing in the NW of England.

Want some minor kerbing repairs, a colour change and proper lacquering so prepared to pay sensible money.

Any personal experiences?

TIA

They did a sterling job on mine. Quite badly kerbed. Refurbed and coated in Anthracite. Top quality, though not the cheapest. I'd certainly go back if I need any more doing.

Not really, I can always ask him tho. He's a bit bust at the moment, he's been doing my wheels in stages lol. Like two at a time one at a time coz he's rammed busy. I'll post some pics up of mine when there done as ive got two back. They've been granite blasted then powder coated.
