Refurbishment of kerbed wheels

In the space of 3 days, I have kerbed my wheels twice. Once to avoid a dog running out into the road and the second time to let an ambulance pass. I have now washed the wheels and the kerbing and associated corrosion from previous kerb/alloy interface really shows up.
The wheels are diamond cut 20 inch; I plan to get them refurbished, so is there any advantage of powder coat over painting? Thought I'd go for gloss black.

England 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Had my wheels powder coated around 6 weeks ago , and was told that the powder
Coating is 4/5 times thicker than paint and more hard wearing .
I must say my wheels were a bit of a state beforehand, kerbing and flaking paint Crying or Very sad
Acid dipped and stripped, then sand blasted and all kerbing repaired , before powder coating
I must say the results were truly stuning , I couldn't believe they were the same wheels Thumbs Up

Hi,

Platinum Wheels http://platinumalloys.com/ in Swindon are the canines testes for wheel refurbishes.

They did my mates Jag ( and he's Mr Finiky) and did a couple on my last Sport.

They'll do whatever you want and they'll be better than new.

Ive had a set that came off my AB powder coated & it is better than paint in one respect as it doesn't chip as easy but if you do chip it then it's not as easy to touch up like paint.

Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.
