Can anyone advise anyone decent? and what kind of cost to expect?

Polsta has had some wheels powdercoated and posted the results on here.

He's down your way isn't he?

I used these guys in 2008-9 and did a superb job £50 a corner +£5 for metal part of centre cap.

If you can't get hold of Polsta (don't think he's on here much at the moment) give Vernon a try at the Wheel Specialist in Segensworth : http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/loc ... ham-hants/

He did the wheels on my E63 and the finish was superb. I think it cost about £75 a wheel as they were 19's and pretty wrecked.

Funnily enough I was enquiring about this yesterday. We use a powder coating company in Curridge near Newbury called Pro Coat, £40 a wheel and the finish is spot on, any colour you like, when I get back from Germany my BBS are going in for a refurb, they really only do the wheels and stuff as a side line as most of their work is high end architectural. Process includes shot blast, degreasing, etch prime then powder coat is the last stage.

I can vouch for Vernon also, he does proper high-end stuff and does a VERY good job

K&N Finishers in Portchester / Port Solent. I've had a couple of sets of wheels blasted and powder coated there and they've been very good both times. Charge is £120-150 per set of 4 depending on wheel size and finish required.

EDIT: These are the wheels they've done for me as an example...
