To any of you boy's out there who might have had alloy's powder coated recently, i have a set of Kahn RSS's the six spoke platinum finish which i would like coated again for the summer time but i dont know who would be the best bet for a good finish and unfortunatly not everyone even does that sort of finish.
any help would be greatfully appreciated, cheers !

Alrite boys first of all teknopete i see your from dundee, im on the west coast so would realie like some where a bit closer to home but thanks all the same mate !!
Grass-hopper the place you talk about wouldnt happen to be R.M.S would it ? if so they actually send there stuff round to Carrick engineering who do it and if you go straight to them its cheaper, although as far as i know they dont do the platinum finish that the wheel's are just now. My mate Swany STI5 had one done at wheel services in Airdrie, i just wasnt too happy with the finish he got, a couple of run's and a bit orange peel looking, i just wonder if anyone else has used them before and if they were quite happy. cheers for the reply mate !

Rourkey,
Carrick Engineering in Prestwick do a good job, I had my wheels done there a bit more than 2 years ago and they still look good.

They won't have the particular finish your after but the silver they use is really smart, especially when pearl laquered.

I believe that Colvins SPS do wheels too.

Cheers Jason, your rite carrick do a cracking job, a couple of the boys have had there's done before, i think your also rite in saying that they dont do my platinum affect but thought i would ask anyway. I like the plat finish better as my car is silver and i find it break's the colour up better, i'll give Colvin's a phone and see what they say, thank's again mate !

Hi m8
I got some prodrive speedlines done by a guy in Renfrew in standard silver.
Chameleon Powdercoating
Station Cres
Renfrew 0141-885-1714
Job was excellent. Says he can do any type of finish. £40 a wheel.
Maybe worth talking to.
Cheers
Alasdair
