Default Repairing magnesium wheels

I have a set of factory magnesium rims on my '99 Pewter Convertible. I really like the way they look (almost a color match), but a couple of them are damaged -- scuffs, gouges, etc (most from the previous owner, but I am responsible for at least one as well).

Has anyone had any luck getting these rims reconditioned? I live in Houston, TX so there is an abundance of repair facilities -- I just don't know where to start to ensure that I am dealing with some one who knows what in the heck they are doing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Default Magnesium wheel repair

PM me for a shop located in Dallas that repaired a heavily set of damaged magnesium wheels and then powdercoated them.
