1.Degreasing & Pre-Clean – Wheels are chemically degreased and jet washed to eliminate contaminants such as brake dust, oils, and road tar.
2.Chemical Stripping – Existing paint and lacquer layers are fully removed using specialist stripping agents, exposing the bare alloy for accurate inspection.
3.Deep Scratch & Damage Repair (if required) – Where wheels have deeper scratches, kerb damage, or surface imperfections, these areas are carefully prepared using precision sanding. For more significant damage, we utilise the TMC system, applying aluminium under high pressure at temperatures of up to 600°C. This allows us to accurately rebuild damaged areas and restore the original wheel profile prior to coating, ensuring a smooth and uniform final finish.
4.Abrasive Shot Blasting – The wheel surface is blasted with calibrated media to remove corrosion and micro-defects, creating a uniform profile for coating adhesion.
5.Outgassing Cycle – Wheels undergo a controlled oven cycle to release entrapped gases from the alloy substrate, ensuring coating integrity and preventing pinholes.
6.Electrostatic Powder Priming – A corrosion-resistant powder primer is applied via electrostatic deposition and cured under precise thermal conditions.
7.Base Colour Coating – The selected OEM-matched wet paint or advanced powder colour is applied, with options ranging from high-gloss to satin and matte.
8.Protective Clear Coat – A UV-stable, impact-resistant clear coat is applied to seal the finish and enhance long-term durability.
9.Thermal Curing – Wheels are cured in a digitally controlled oven cycle to guarantee optimal hardness and chemical resistance.
10.Tyre Refitting, Balancing & Final QC – Tyres are re-mounted, dynamically balanced, and every wheel undergoes a detailed quality control inspection to verify finish, adhesion, and safety standards.
