Alloy refurb

Anyone know of a decent (and cheap!) alloy refurbisher in the birmingham area?

Or any tips on how to do it myself?

I'm sure we've covered this one before but here goes anyway....

'Wicked Wheels' are very good, just up the road from me and offer a mail order server. A friend of mine had a very badly kerbed (ex-tarmac rally) set of alloys refurb'd and they came up good as new.

My mate had his Lotus Esprit Wheels anodised there and they came out superb!

After anodising, what colour do they come out? Can you have the anodising done in any colour?

Anodizing will fade in UV light, given time. A good protector, and a very smart look, is UV safe clear powder coating.
It gives the coloured anodizing tremendous "depth".
