Can anyone recommend a firm to refurb multispoke alloys, I have one which has cracked for a second time so I've bought a new pair which are coming in gunmetal, I need to have them and three others done, looking for a top job, don't mind paying for it

Seen good work on a few mates cars from powdertech in Kinning park, not the cheapest though. Used chameleon aswell, had a good and a bad job from there, a week apart! Hit or miss I think

I recently got my 18" multispokes done at the wheel specialist in East Kilbride.
Not sure if its just refurbs they do though.

I used them for 6 sets of wheels, My last set the finish was not up to there normal high standards. The company split the engineering side and they sold of the alloy wheels side of things to a 3rd party. A real shame as they were first class. frown

I can fully recommend this guy/company,just had him polish my exhaust tips on my BMW Z4MR.
They were very badly scratched and stained,left them with him for 1 hour and when i returned they were like brand new.

I've also used Mike the Polisher to do a set of mk1 GT3 split rims. He did a superb job.
