Anyone used Smart Wheel Repair in Manchester?
They do wet paint, as do not want powder coated as have been told they can damage alloy due to high temp bake process - or am I wrong

Powder coating is the way forward mate, much more robust from what I'm lead to believe. Wet painting is prone to runs and blemishes on wheels.

I used smart wheel repairs a while back. They only do paint, but did a very good job on my wheels.
