Pentland Powdercoating
Got around to having my wheels refurbed last Thursday - On the advice of a few on here, I took the car to Pentland Powdercoating next to Ikea Edinburgh, and made avail of their 'same day service'.
Essentially you drop your car off between 07:30 - 08:00, collect a courtesy car, and return around 16:00 to pick up your car with the work complete.
I had a new set of tyres to fit, and they were happy to do this for me, provided I disposed of the old tyres.
Price was £240 - That included remove tyres / blast / repair / powdercoat in a colour of your choosing / refit my new tyres (with new valves & balancing) - You just return the courtesy car with the same amount of fuel you picked it up with.
Don't have a before picture, but imagine generalised kerb rash, fine scratching all over, and a dodgy Dunlop runflat with a big egg in the sidewall
After:
Pentland Powdercoating Limited
Unit 1, Pentland Industrial Estate,
Loanhead,
Midlothian, EH20 9QH
Telephone: 0131 440 0844

(And sad to report - They no longer have the courtesy Ka - It's now a '14' plate Micra... )

Re: Pentland Powdercoating
Anyone used these guys recently?
Had a quote of £90 for one wheel from the "Wheel Specialist" at the Gyle which seemed steep.
Pentland Powdercoating currently doing 4 for £180 or £54 each.

I think Andy G used the wheel specialist for his Aston wheels, he was happy with them from memory, but £90 a wheel is expensive! PPE have done customer cars for us when I was involved with SLS and they always turned out well with no fuss

Re: Pentland Powdercoating
Obviously varies with location.
I had the Aberdeen Branch do my spare set of Exige wheels for N3, £240 with new tyres fitted delivered from Ronnie, disposal of old ones, and an excellent job indistinguishable from new.

Re: Pentland Powdercoating
Looks like a good job Ed
Also that must have been a big kerb considering the height of the damage. What happened?

Re: Pentland Powdercoating
Not sure to be honest. Bought a full set from a breakers yard so I would imagine the damage was caused in the accident that wrote off the car.

Re: Pentland Powdercoating
As Campbell said above I was very impressed with their service, price and quality - will definitely use again.
Only bug bear for me was they didn't have a card machine - I had to run to Sainsbury's to get cash!

Re: Pentland Powdercoating
You'll be glad to know that they do now have a card machine.
