Alloy wheels repair ie non full refurb

[p1tse]

So I'm looking for low cost options to spruce up alloys which has rim edge kerb and a couple of gouges

One local company said it would be £200 for 4 x19"
Process: lacquer stripped, damage repaired, re painted and the 2 coats of lacquer

Not had any quote backs from other places, thoughts?

Seems very reasonable for all four wheels - I recently had some 18" alloys done and the rate was £60 per wheel for a full-face refurb and £30 per wheel for a partial (prices ex-vat).

Another rough quote dent magic circa £50 plus vat each wheel
But subject to seeing wheels
Process
"We would Repair the Alloys and then Prime & Paint the full face of the Alloys in a low bake tech oven."

Do a DIY with,

• Dremel and/or emery cloth to smooth the roughest parts of damage
• Clean with methylated spirit and an old toothbrush
• Apply primer (Halfords spray can) using a small modeller's paint brush
• Apply a close colour paint (Halfords spray can) using a small modeller's paint brush

Job jobbed.

I may have a crack at that with everything except the paint (instead plumping for a local powdercoater).

If I can be bothered I'll take photos as I go.

Never used this but £8.95 from eBays got to be worth a try!
