I have some relatively minor rim damage to some of my white powder coated alloys. I don't particularly want or need to have the whole wheel refurbished so I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for people who can do localised repair work? I was going to use Lepsons but they say they only do complete wheels.

How juvenile.

In other news, George Michael has been taken into hospital once again, possibly with something similar.

Dare I say it - Wicked Wheels in Guildford.

They didn't do a great job on my wheels - but that was a full strip and recoat.

They would probably be alright for a minor repair. Although I doubt the finish will last very long with the new coating and the old coating together.

I don't even know if powder coat can be patched. Perhaps give Jerry a buzz and pick his brains
