Looking to get my wheels and rear diffuser powdercoated satin black, does anybody know anywhere near Kirkcaldy that does it?

I had my wheels done recently by

I P F
37 Whitehill Road
Glenrothes
Fife
KY6 2RW

The guy did a great job. I think they were £35 each. He also did my grills, but charged £10 for each which I thought was a bit of a cheek as the rear two are pretty small. But hey, he was certainly busy so had no need to "do me a deal" not that I asked.

He doesn't take the tyres off but he does work closely with Eck at Tyres4U which is a couple of units down from IPF. On the face of it he did a good job, that is until I got home and realised that he had scratched one of the rears when he was balancing it. He had obviously done it with the lug nut thing they use to hold it onto the balancing machine. I wouldn't have minded so much if he had mentioned it, but he had touched it in (badly) with a touch up stick which he kindly gave me. He only charged me £30 instead of the £40 quoted, so I should have realised something was up.:roll:

I didn't bother kicking up a fuss when I realised as it would have meant a great deal of hassle which I could do without. I am sure that it was a one off as he had taken great care putting the tyres on and had put all the balance weights on the inside of the wheels. He was probably just crapping himself about telling me - just wish he had though.

Stewart meant to ask, how long did it take the guy to do it?
