Rim Refinishing Shop Help

I am currently looking to buy some used rims. There are a few in the Canada Classified's section that I am interested in, but all have some curb rash. Can anyone recommend a good rim refinishing shop, and how much on average does it cost to fix curb rash? Thank You.

European/Carcones. Had good experiences with both.

European paints only, afaik. Carcones is full refinish. I've used them once, and seen many, many examples of their work; it's who I would go to.

Reading all the posts that Ben found, as well as AP2's and Picus' comments I think I will go with Carcones.

Thanks

One more tip on Carcones; they can be a hassle to get in touch with, so call them or just drive by. Don't be discouraged, they just suck at emails.

If you are doing a full refinish, inside out, that should be ok.

Otherwise, make sure the inner barrel is CLEAN... they clearcoated some dirt inside the barrel of my rims.

I prefer either Panthers, AWR or Greens. Those are the company we usually deal with for wheel damages. We Have AWR behind us and can do repairs on the spot, but we can send it out to the oher companies cause its usually cheaper.

Thank You, but Vancouver is a bit of a drive to get my wheels refinished
