I'm not having it refurbed just touched in by a "visit your home specialist" similar to Chipsaway. Someone I know used them before on one of their wheels that had a big chunk missing out of it and it looked as good as new.

I'll post the pics when its done

Merv,
Who's fixing the wheels?
I've personally had little good to say with the 'paint chip' people, starting with the obvious gripes like 'we can't fix stone chips - properly - without painting the whole panel
I'm still OK, but seeing how things have worked out for you, who knows?
Word of mouth is always better than advertisements!

Not to mention that Murphy's law would cause you to re-curb them as soon as you get them fixed!

Thats a run of real bad luck Merv.

Be very interested to hear your opinions of the wheel guy. I have used Chipsaway in the past and they were OK. Cost me ?30 per wheel so would also be interested to hear cost also (if you don't mind me asking).

Better luck from here on....
