Default Wheel refurbing down south

Hey guys just picked up a set of lattice wheels today that need refurbing. I take it these days a blast and powder coat is the best option? CAn anyone recommend a place down south? I'm in Bournemouth but don't mind a little travel for somewhere decent. Thanks

There is a place in Woolston, Southampton who do a lot of powder coating. They are the ones who Tremona Garage use and I have used them myself. Not to far from Bournemouth.
