Personally i wouldn't let ford do them as they just get a contractor in to do it and they knackered the wheels on my ST when ford kerbed it during a service.... In the end they replaced the alloy as it looked worse after they had a go at repairing the scuff....
Take all four to a decent place where they blast them and re-coat them.....

I have not heard of a Ford garage doing this sort of work directly, and if they did I bet they would just farm the wheels out to a local refurb company anyway
if you can't take all four do two at a time, so at least when looking at one side of your car the wheels match

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale
