most are 40-50 for a normal poweder coat job, obviously costs more to get things diamond cut etc.

They repair the damage mate dont worry bout it!! unless its proper mullered!!

I'm miles away to recommend somewhere to do them, but i was quoted £120 for 4 Escort Cosworth alloys. Factory 16's with no tyres.

Most companies can repair minimal damage, but if they are bad, dont expect the powdercoat to hide it 100%.
