Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Process
The refurbishment of alloy wheels draws on our key areas of expertise – chemical stripping, shot blasting and powder coating.
- On receipt of your car, the wheels and tyres are removed by a professional tyre fitter.
- The wheels are then processed through our chemical stripping or shot blasting areas to remove all traces of existing coatings and any corrosion.
- Next, we inspect for and repair any damage.
- The wheels are then cleaned and processed through our painting area (for primer and wet colour if required) then our powder coating area before being oven hardened.
- Tyres are then refitted with new valves and the wheels balanced using self-adhesive balance weights – all carried out by a professional tyre fitter.
- The wheels are then put back on your car and all bolts torqued to manufacturer’s specifications.
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Questions
- How long does it take? - for straightforward chemical stripping or shot blasting followed by powder coating, we can process a set of wheels in one day.
- Do I have to remove the tyres myself? - No. We take care of that. This safety-critical task is always carried out by a professional tyre fitter.
- Is it as good as a new wheel? - Yes. We apply a powder coating which is actually of a higher specification than that of the original manufacturer.
- Who do you refurbish wheels for? - We refurbish wheels for clients from all over Scotland including car manufacturer main dealers, local garages, motor rally teams and members of the public.
- I've kerbed a wheel. Can I have a single one refurbished? - Yes, we will refurbish a single alloy wheel. Please note, it may not be possible to colour match exactly that of another wheel which may have several years worth of weathering. Please contact us for further information.
