Why Powder Coat Your Wheels

Powder Coating vs. Paint

The Cost of Cheap Wheel Finishes

Cheap wheel painting or DIY rattle-can jobs might save money upfront, but they cost more in the long run:

• Frequent re-coating every 1-2 years
• Brake dust staining that requires aggressive cleaning
• Chipping that leads to corrosion and wheel damage
• Resale value reduction from poor appearance

Powder coating is a one-time investment that pays off for the life of the wheel.

Wheel Coating Process

Step 1: Inspection and Disassembly

We inspect every wheel for cracks, bends, and structural issues before coating. Wheels with damage are flagged for repair or replacement. We remove tires, valve stems, weights, and center caps.

Step 2: Stripping

Old finish is completely removed using chemical stripping or media blasting. This is critical - powder coating over old paint leads to adhesion failure.

Step 3: Surface Preparation

Wheels are cleaned, etched, and prepped to ensure maximum adhesion. Any curb rash or damage is repaired at this stage.

Step 4: Coating Application

Powder is electrostatically applied for even coverage on all surfaces, including the barrel, spokes, and lug holes.

Step 5: Curing

Wheels are cured in a temperature-controlled oven, crosslinking the powder into a hard, durable finish.

Step 6: Quality Check

Every wheel is inspected for coverage, thickness, gloss, and color consistency before reassembly.
