The tyre garage did say that the powder coating should have been thicker really but they are going to drop the wheel off at the powder coaters who did them whilst they are changing my front discs/pads and hub carriers (calliper bolts fused to existing hubs)

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Chaps
Picture this, your beloved, mint condition 986 Boxster S is booked in your local garage to get some new Goodyear Eagle F1s fitted to the front wheels. A car you spend hours on making it the best it can be. Ignoring your late model Passat in the process.
After an hour you go back to pic the car up, the chap from the garage even comments on what a nice boxster it is.
All is good in the world, apart form the fact they haven't washed off that soapy crap they use to put the tyres on, never mind you don't say anything but will wash it off as soon as you get home.
5 mins later your on the drive bucket and wash mitt in hand ready to give your 18" Turbos Twists (that you had powder coated 12 months ago) a much needed bath.
Hang on what's under that piece of dried soap!!!!! A massive chunk of the paint missing!!!
Now your that guy that's feeling abad about complaining, had to do it tho they were very apologetic and are paying for it it be rectified.
Is it just me these thing happen too!
Think positive!...at least the shop didn’t take a chunk of paint off the car itself!
Whenever I had to get new tires on my Boxster, I used to take all 4 wheels off and put my winter set of wheels on my car, so that all I had to do was give the tire shop the wheels. That way, they didn’t have a chance to even get in my car and do something stupid like ride my clutch.
I am finding it harder and harder to even find a tire shop to touch my wheels. The last shop, a couple years ago that did my fronts, when I called to do my rear tires last winter, wouldn't do them any more. I took a chance and used the Tire Rack mobile service. They don't have road force balancing but they didn't damage the rims and the balancing seems fine. Super convenient
Last time I took mine in to have all 4 tires replaced, they left a piece of rag in the bead and chipped the paint on 3 or 4 of the calipers.
This is why I don't like others working on my things.
Have to say the that garage are being great about it as iv used them for years.
The bodyshop next door to then doesn't want to blow it in so the wheel is going back to the people that powder coated them last year
The tyre garage did say that the powder coating should have been thicker really but they are going to drop the wheel off at the powder coaters who did them whilst they are changing my front discs/pads and hub carriers (calliper bolts fused to existing hubs)
for only £40 a side as a good will gesture.
I already have the brembo disc and pads bought.
I repainted all my callipers base coat red then applied new decals then cleared over with 2K, they are unmarked so I'm hoping they dont chip them.
Incidentally have you seen the tutorial on you tube of this lol...... iv watched it 20 times lol. You will know why if you have seen it lol.
here is the full car, its my baby, had her 3 years, despite being a daily driver she lives on a bed of ostrich feathers and gets all of her whims attended too.
Im not her owner... she owns me.

Wow, a chunk like that should have never even left the building before they told you about it. Hard to miss that! That’s what pisses me off about shops sometimes, they do things, then don’t acknowledge the thing, until you point it out... as though they HOPE you won’t notice. Total crap. I’m will Particleweave and do most of my own stuff. I’ve had excellent service from our local dealer and use them exclusively for things I can’t/don’t want to do.
