   I have a company coming to fit 2 new front tyres later today.
   
   My alloys are powder coated and Ive seen the way some people change tyres and im dreading that the bloke is going to damage the paint.
   
   Any chance of claiming from the company if they do damage them?

   i'd just make him fully aware that the alloys are mint before hand and if not when they have been fitted then he'll have to make sure they are in the same condition

   Let them know that you've just spend £x on getting them refurbed and you don't want any scratches on them and you have OCD. Ask them if they're still confident they can do the job without scratching them.
