Benefits of Powder Coating Rims
Durability
Unlike regular paint, the powder coating will create a non-porous surface that’s resistant to chipping, flaking, and corrosion. While our winters can be intense, the powder coating will prevent any type of salt or debris from damaging your wheels. Powder coating adds a thick and consistent layer of coverage, making it last three times longer than traditional paint.
Eco-Friendly
While applying regular auto paint can release volatile organic compounds into the air, the powder coating process doesn’t emit these harmful particles. Not only is the application process more environmentally friendly, but any excess powder can be recycled for future use and has a long shelf life.
Cost-Effective
While the initial cost of the powder coating is comparable to traditional auto painting, its durability will help you save on repairs in the long run. Powder coating also has a much shorter cure time, achieving maximum durability in a matter of minutes.
If powder coating sounds like something you'd be interested in, give our shop a call to set up a time to bring your vehicle in. We will have it coated and back on the road in no time! The process can typically be completed within one day, including preparation and curting time. We begin by thoroughly cleaning the rims with either sandlblasting or chemical to remove any dirt, grease, and old coatings, ensuring a smooth surface Next, the rims are electrostatically charged, allowing the powder coating to adhere evenly to the surface. The powder is sprayed onto the rims using a specialized spray gun which delivers an even, complete coverage. Once coated, the rims are placed in a curing oven, where high temperatures cause the powder to melt and form a smooth, hard, and durable finish. This process not only enhances the rims' appearance with a variety of color and texture options, but also provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chipping, and wear, making it a popular choice for many drivers and auto enthusiasts.
