Powder Coated Alloy Wheels – Step-by-Step Process
1. Initial Inspection
The wheel is checked for any visible damage or cracks. Tyres and valves are removed to prepare for the process.
2. Chemical Stripping
The old paint and lacquer are stripped using a chemical solution to expose the bare alloy underneath.
3. Shot Blasting
The wheel is blasted with fine abrasive media to clean the surface and remove any corrosion, providing a perfect base for coating.
4. Damage Repairs
Any kerb damage, scuffs, or imperfections are repaired using specialist tools and fillers to restore the wheel’s shape.
5. Powder Application
A dry powder coat in your chosen colour is applied electrostatically, which allows the powder to stick evenly to the surface.
6. Curing in the Oven
The coated wheel is baked in a high-temperature oven, causing the powder to melt and bond to the alloy, creating a smooth, durable finish.
7. Clear Lacquer (Optional)
A clear powder lacquer can be applied over the colour coat for added shine and protection, then baked again.
8. Final Check & Reassembly
Once cooled, the wheel is inspected, tyres refitted, and it’s ready to be mounted back on your vehicle.
