Alloy Wheel Refurbishment in Powder Coated Finish
Powder coating is an advanced finishing process that creates a tough finish also used by OEM manufacturers. It is extensively used in industrial finishing for a wide range of parts, materials, and products where a decorative and protective coating is required to protect the product from heat, cold, grime, scratching, corrosion or bleaching.

Powder Coating - The Refurbishment Process
Step 1
Removing the wheels from a vehicle
If we have the car on site it will be parked within our
secure premises for the duration of the repair. The other
option is that spare wheels are temporally fitted so that
the car can stay on the road.
Step 2
Removing the tyres, weights & valves
The tyres are removed from the wheels and marked for
precision & rotation, and tagged with the customer's name.
Step 3
Stripping previous paintwork, grime & dirt
The wheel is then dipped in a special chemical solution
to strip away the existing finish and break all dust.
After a few hours the entire wheel is fully stripped
back to bare aluminium.
Step 4
Shot blasting - further cleaning of the wheel
The wheel is then sandblasted in a special blasting
cabinet for more cleaning, corrosion removal and this
also prepares the surface.
Step 5
Wheel inspection
Once the wheel is fully cleaned it is much easier to
see if there are any cracks or structural damage. The
wheels are then tested on a balancing machine.
Step 6
Structural repairs - straightening, welding
We have advanced techniques in the straightening of
bent, buckled, dented or cracked alloy wheels.
Step 7
Preparing kerbed surface for paint
The next step is selective machining to remove all
kerb damage from the surface of the wheel.
Step 8
Painting the wheel
First, the wheel is placed into the oven for the
preheating process. After this new powder primer is
applied before the curing process.
Step 9
Tyre fitting & balancing
Once the wheel is repaired we fit new rubber valves.
The tyre is then refitted to the wheel and balanced
using weights stuck to the inside of the wheel.
Step 10
Fitting wheels to the car
The wheels are fitted to the car and final checks
are carried out including tyre pressure and wheel
bolt torque and tightening.
