Enhance Durability with Powder Coating Rims

When it comes to keeping your car looking sharp and tough, your rims play a starring role. But let’s face it - those wheels take a beating. Salt, dirt, scrapes, and weather can turn your once-pristine rims into a dull, chipped mess. That’s where rim powder coating steps in like a superhero. It’s not just about looks; it’s about armour for your wheels. Ready to dive into why powder coating is the ultimate game-changer? Let’s roll.

Why Rim Powder Coating Is a Must-Have Upgrade

Think of rim powder coating as a tough, colourful shield for your wheels. Unlike traditional paint, powder coating uses a dry powder that’s electrostatically applied and then baked on. This process creates a hard, durable finish that laughs in the face of chips, scratches, and corrosion.

Here’s why it’s a no-brainer:

• Long-lasting protection: Powder coating forms a thick, resilient layer that resists wear and tear far better than liquid paint.

• Vibrant colours and finishes: From matte black to glossy red, powder coating offers a rainbow of options that won’t fade or peel.

• Eco-friendly process: No solvents or harmful chemicals here. It’s a cleaner, greener way to upgrade your rims.

• Easy maintenance: A quick wash keeps your rims looking showroom fresh.

  
  

Imagine cruising through Lincolnshire with wheels that shine bright and stay tough, no matter the weather or road conditions. That’s the power of rim powder coating.

The Rim Powder Coating Process: What Happens Behind the Scenes?

Curious about how your rims get that sleek, durable finish? Here’s the lowdown on the powder coating process:

1. Preparation: First, the rims are stripped of old paint, dirt, and grease. This step is crucial for a smooth, lasting finish.

2. Blasting: Next, they’re blasted with abrasive material to roughen the surface. This helps the powder stick better.

3. Powder application: The dry powder is sprayed onto the rims using an electrostatic gun. The powder clings to the metal like magic.

4. Curing: The rims go into a curing oven where heat melts the powder into a uniform, tough coating.

5. Cooling and inspection: After cooling, the rims get a final check to ensure flawless coverage.

   
   

This process isn’t just about looks. It’s about creating a shield that protects your rims from rust, chips, and fading. Plus, it’s quick and efficient, so you’re back on the road in no time.

How much does it cost to powder coat rims?

Wondering if rim powder coating fits your budget? The cost can vary depending on several factors:

• Number of rims: Coating a full set of four wheels will cost more than just one or two.

• Rim size and condition: Larger rims or those needing extra prep work might add to the price.

• Colour and finish: Special colours or textures can be more so get in touch and we will quote you happy today!
