Not sure how good they are with deep gouges, but Sweeney & Sherlock in Birmingham (behind St. Andrews) did a good job powder-coating a set of my alloys, and the rim-repair on a small gouge (~1/2 inch long) was hardly noticeable. Good prices too...

Of course, they only do powder-coating, so if you've got polished alloys or diamond-cut, it won't work.

Yeah found a place like that near redditch, powder coat only and they couldnt match the silver of the alloys plus i wasnt convinced they could actual tig weld as there was only a mig in the workshop..... If it was just the powder coat i would probably go for it but im not risking the welding!

May be a bit too far but Laptab (Near Centre of Brum) did a great job on 4 of my alloys a few years ago. Was a good price as well, but it may be a bit far, depends on how far you want to travel
