ULTRA TOUGH
Powder coating’s durability is its main selling point. You’ve seen it on gym equipment, stovetop grates, industrial fencing, and other heavy duty applications. Compared to traditional liquid paint, the longevity and impact durability of a powder coated wheel finish is far superior. This means that your wheels are more resistant to rock chips, wear and tear, and weathering.
COLOUR SELECTION
There are thousands of colours available in different finishes to choose from. From your classic gloss black, to a satin metallic bronze, to a candy red with a deep finish - you have plenty of options available to make sure your wheels accent the rest of the car the way you want.

FAQS

WHAT IS POWDER COATING AND WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE IT OVER OTHER TYPES OF COATINGS?

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, it requires no solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in liquid suspension. This makes it environmentally friendly. It's often used for coating metals and creates a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

WHAT TYPES OF PARTS CAN BE POWDER COATED?

We specialize in powder coating wheels but we can also handle smaller car parts like brake calipers, strut bars, and engine components. The condition is that they should be made of a material that can withstand the powder coating process, typically metal.

HOW LONG DOES THE POWDER COATING PROCESS TAKE?

The exact duration of the process can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, but it typically takes a few days.

IS POWDER COATING SAFE FOR MY WHEELS OR SMALL CAR PARTS?

Yes, powder coating is not only safe but beneficial. It provides a protective layer that can resist rust, damage, and general wear and tear, enhancing the lifespan of the coated parts.

HOW DOES POWDER COATING AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF MY VEHICLE?

Powder coating doesn't directly affect vehicle performance. However, it does add an aesthetic appeal and can extend the lifespan of coated parts, like wheels and brakes, by offering protection against harsh conditions and wear.
