My pal's wheels (which are in the for sale section) have just gone to Rimfurbish (Team Dynamics) in Westbrom along with the OEM paint code. They have said they can match OEM and will apply the correct base primer so we shall see.
The one thing with Lepsons, while they are good, they tend to coat over existing finishes if the wheel isn't badly damaged, rather than taking it back to bare alloy. This also increases the tendency for the paint to chip off under flex (as happened with my old M5). They fixed it, but complete bastard sending one wheel to Swindon and it wasn't quite the same colour when it came back.
