Phil, I have used Customised Coatings in Newmacher. Speak to John and he will look after you. Myself, Kinger and Gary have all had wheels done there.

Let him know that I sent you in his direction. Just say Steve, Lotus. lol. He also does trackdays in a Mini at KH.

Looks perfect!

Reminds me that I need to give one of my diamond cut wheels some attention.

Any one got recommendations for Edinburgh or East Lothian?

I've used a place at Broxburn a couple of times this year - once to powdercoat a full set of 18"s and another time to redo a diamond cut on a single 19". Both times they did a good job and at a reasonable price. Ecosse Powdercoating. Be aware that their comms are woeful - and the place is a dump! - but the work was good and they consistently get good reviews.

Just down the lane from me! I think he has contracts with several of the dealers which has enabled him to install some automation although it means the individual customers struggle for attention.
