I know magnesium alloys are supposed to be difficult to repaint/coat but has anyone successfully had a wheel done?

Thanks, I'm in the South East but assume I could post the wheel.

Thanks for that, I’d heard good things but wasn’t sure from the website if they were still in business.

Any personal experiences with them?

Yes, I used them to refurb the mags on my 964 RS. However, that was 10 years ago ! At that point they were really the only people in the South of the country who appeared to refurb magnesium properly. The finish was good and lasted well, however the colour was a little darker than the factory Porsche silver. Ultimately before I sold the car I had the wheels sanded back and wet-painted the correct colour, but that is not a criticism of TPCS. I am sure their processes and finishes will have evolved over the years since then.......
Thanks. They seemed very knowledgeable but can only do up to 19” wheels unfortunately.
