For my winter project I'm looking to have the Corvette's wheels re-furbed, these are 18" diameter and custom made in billet aluminium, the first bit is relatively easy they were originally lacquered and due to a powerful wheel cleaner the lacquer has gone milky in parts, so the solution is, I believe, is to have them re-done in clear powdercoat. The second is a bit more complex in that there is some minor kerbing to the edge of the front rims and I need some way of re-finishing these.

Any recommendations would be gratefully received.

Pentland Powder Coating up behind Ikea. They've done a number of sets of alloys for me and always a decent job.

Me and Kay have both used newlife tyres in niddrie. They sorted out the parking dings and powdercoated the wheels within the day. Dropped off the car at 8amand had it back by 4pm all done.

Thanks all for your replies, if it was just powder coating I would go to Pentland who I have used before.
Sherman, thanks for that I will try Newlife, I had no idea they did powder coating.

I used The Wheel Specialist at South Gyle for the wheels on the M5, stunning job and still look brilliant almost a year on.

A bit pic heavy but, pics here.
