Right, to fix a bend is another $65 bucks.

O, in that case, I paid $300 to fix, paint and refinish the wheels for all four.

If that's what you paid, that's a great price for all 4. But you mention paint, be careful as paint chips really easily on wheels and that's why powder coating is what's usually used.

I know what you mean, but powder coating is always not recommended. You will not always find the right color as if you painted them. I was going to go the powder coating route, but choose to paint them instead. If you get a wheel place that is confident and will back up their work then go for it. The paint really only chips if rocks and other stuff hit the wheel. Which is true with powder coating as well. I know two places I had my work done with Advanced wheel repair in OC (TWS outsourced their work to them), they also do powder coat. Recently All in one wheel repair in Azusa. I am happier with the location in Azusa, there paint seems to be higher quality and looks really good with the clear coat. Dont expect any great location, because they do pick ups and deliveries, but I am happy with their work. I havent put the wheels on the car yet...

That sounds great. You should post some pics. of your wheels. In correction to my previous e-mail about the price, Mag Masters charges $35 for lip refinishing and $65 for a bend including lip refinishing. Now that's a pretty good deal.
