    Want to get the black S spokes refurbed in high gloss black, as Mom is comfortable with the look .

    Is it correct to assume that Powertec will do the best job?

    I've had refurbs twice before, the first was a guy out of the back of a van who did the silver S spokes and I think he did a great job. Was recomended by one of Neil's pals who works with Porche.
    2nd time was a local dealer on the old covertible wheels and I thought the job was "not so good". Both charged about £40 a wheel.

    I know lots of NMS peps have had wheels done, good bad and indifferent, so what is the general recomendation? Would be more than happy to support Chris's sponsors if they are the best.

    There is also a company just round the corner from my work that are doing powder coating now. They have done some work for my Dad (not wheels though but we were very happy with the job they done).

    They are called 'Metaplas' in Bilston Glen Industrial Estate, 0131 440 1233

    Powdertech did a good job on my mini wheels.

    However there is now a place in Oban doing wheel refurbishment.

    Not heard any feedback re quality of workmanship.

    If you want address and phone numbers pm me

    Got the wheels done by powdertec and I think they did a great job. They picked the wheels up and returned them for just £70 which I thought was good value. Saved me 2 trips to Glasgow and a lot time, which I don't seem to have much of at present.
    Did get a scare when Mom phoned me to say, wheels are back, but they are navy blue....guys in her garage were really winding her up

    Just hope I can keep them shiney, need to get some poorboys (Mr King) apparently.
