I know of a firm near Luton that specialises in refurbing alloys with different colours and lettering. I'll dig out the details if you still need them.

if alloys will be painted there shouldnt be a problem with it.

the problem you describe sounds as the company wants to powdercoat the alloys.

this cant be done partially.

Just get them painted not powdercoated - any good bodyshop should be able to help.
