If it's just a scuff repair and not a refurb then I'm sure the mobile guys are ok?
If it's a refurb I'd go with Chris, the wheels will go to a facility, stripped to blast, paint and more importantly bake them. They will come back same as new.
If it's some guy not doing all that and just doing them in the back of a van for half the dosh - then I'd do it yourself (look at James's thread), you will spend more time on each wheel than the mobile guy, because you have the time to. And it might take days rather than the hours of those mobile vans.
But there's a reason for that.

Ultimately if you want this to be right then I'd go to the Team Dynamics manufacturer who can either exchange or refurb back to 100% as it left their factory. They are called Rimstock and are near Dudley. Probably as easy to send it to them, and in fairness they'll be reasonably priced.

Chris, you know those Fuchs wheels, well I understand there is a chap in the mail room who has a very attractive daughter (of age).
Do you know her favourite colour, her postal address and the cost to airmail a handwoven taffeta "Dreamcatcher" (personalised)?
