Powder Coating
What is powder coating?
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. We believe that the result of choosing a powder coated finish for your alloy wheel refurbishment is that it will have attractive, durable, high-quality finish available guaranteeing a great result and a stunning look for your rims.
How do we achieve this?
Most wheels are gently blasted by hand to remove previous layers of lacquer and paint to obtain a smooth metal surface in preparation for coating. If the wheels are in a particularly poor condition they may be chemically stripped prior to blasting. The wheels are then prepared, dressed and filled to deal with any damage to the rim edges and the face.
Next the wheels are gently heat treated to remove any air from the alloy and a first stage powder coat finish is applied and then cured for a set time period.The wheels are also automatically subjected to a further thermal treatment. The lacquer coat is not only applied to enhance the finish but to protect the alloy wheel against environmental influences (UV radiation, salt, moisture, dirt, etc.) at all points.
