Wheel Preparation

Before we can begin to refurbish your wheels, the tyres have to be removed. Old paint and surface coatings are removed to reveal the bare metal of the wheel.

Following stripping, the wheels undergo a thorough blast cleaning process. This essential step removes any ingrained corrosion, stubborn debris, and minor surface imperfections, ensuring a completely clean and keyed substrate.

Any damage to the rim and face of the wheel can now be filled and prepared by our experienced team. The entire wheel is then sanded and smoothed using various different methods, ensuring the surface is perfect before the powder coating process can begin.

Powder Coating

With the wheel prepared, the chosen style of coating can be applied. The wheel is electrostatically charged, then the powder is used to uniformly coat the wheel. This is done in three stages, firstly with a primer coat, then the chosen colour and finally a protective clear coat.

Once the powder has been applied, it needs to be cured at temperature for a short period of time. This ensures the coating adheres properly to the wheel and will last a long time. If this part of the process wasn’t properly done, the coating would flake off. After the wheel has fully cured, it is left to fully cool then inspected for any defects to the finish.

Tyre Fitting & Balancing

Once your set of wheels have fully cured and cooled, the tyres can be refitted using the reverse process of removal. As the tyre won’t be fitted in the exact orientation as it was removed, balancing is essential. We perform full digital wheel balancing on each wheel adding small weights where required. The wheels are now ready to be collected or re-fitted to your vehicle.
