What's the Difference Between The Two Services?
Powder coating is totally different than wet spraying, when wet spraying, the wheel is rubbed down then painted which is a much quicker process but does not last as long or look as good.
When powder coating the wheel is stripped in acid, back to original then refurbed and coated in a powder finish and baked in the oven.

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Alloy wheel refurbishment encompasses different processes, including:
Powder coating – This process involves refurbishing the entire wheel, allowing for total colour changes or matching the original finish. Specialist ovens and equipment are used to remove old coatings, repair damage and corrosion, and apply a new finish. Powder coating provides a durable and exceptional finish.
Diamond cut wheel refurbishment – Similar to powder coating, this method includes using a diamond cutting lathe to achieve a distinctive finish. A thin layer is removed from the wheel face, resulting in a diamond cut wheel appearance.

Powder Coating & Wet Spraying
The wheel is removed from your vehicle and the tyre removed and tagged. If the wheel is in poor condition we will chemically strip the wheel prior to gently blasting in our state of the art auto blasting machine.
The wheels are then taken to the preparation area where they are gently sanded, rubbed, prepared and filled if required to give the edges etc a smooth finish.
The wheel is then heated to remove any air, oils contaminates (de-gas the wheel) and the first stage powder coat is applied and baked for a set time, depending on the wheel condition and the colour chosen we may powder coat a second time then bake and finally lacquer.
The tyre will be re-fitted balanced and wheel and tyre fitted to your car and torqued to the manufacturers setting.

Diamond Cut Alloys
If your wheel has any imprinted wording, this maybe lost when the wheel is re-cut. The final process is the wheel to receive a clear lacquer coat and oven baked again for further re-coating. There is a limit on how many times a wheel can be re-cut.
