£25-50 a wheel for a normal wheel, more for a diamond cut one or something.

If it's just a paint scrape then they don't need re-furbing as such. You can get them powder coated or painted a different colour. Powder coating has costed me £35 a wheel in the past. Much easier than getting them painted.

Painting yes, powder coating no.

You can get metallic and pearlescent powdercoats now too. If you are thinking of paying somone to so the work for you then I would recomend powder coating because it is a lot more durable.

They're plastic, so you'd have to have them painted AFAIK

Look in the Yellow Pages or yell.com for a coater. We have 2 locals to us, they are all over the place beacause it is a big industrial process...
