I've heard that 2 pac painting is just as good, if not better thatn powder coating as its more reslilant to stone chipping etc.

Surely someone must be able to do that local for a cheap price, ideally they wanted to be sandblasted first.

I'll speak to the old man, i'm sure he'll know some powercoaters.

iirc didnt nicky buy you a compressor a while ago?
if she did just paint them yourself, down to the local paint shop defo wont be dear for what you need. youll get a good enough finish for wheel and easier to touch up if they get scratched.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
