Powder Coating Process

Any tyres, valves and wheel weights are removed from the wheel, which is then inspected thoroughly for any structural damage, i.e. bends or cracks. If any additional straightening or welding is required the customer will be informed.

The wheels are then submerged in acid to strip the wheels of all existing materials. Then it, is blasted to remove any contamination and to prepare the surface for powder coat application. Any damage is then removed.

Any additional straightening or welding will be carried out if necessary. Please note this is not included in the refurbishment cost.  

The wheels are then heated in the oven to 200°C for 20-30 minutes; this pushes any air and gas out of the alloy prior to the powder coating. 

A powder coat primer is then applied, which is then cured before the basecoat colour of your choice is applied. We then apply an ultra durable powder coat lacquer; this enhances the look and protects the wheel. The wheel is then given a final cure for 20 minutes at 200°C

The tyres can now be refitted and balanced; the wheels are then ready to be refitted to your vehicle.
