Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Powder-Coating 'The Process' Picture galore

[Tyler@Ultimate]

that red looks stunning :O assuming its candy apple red? is the closest colour i can put it to

the car looks tidy with black wheels mate (Y)

how would they do 2 different colours on wheels? say if you wanted the main part of the wheel one colour but the rim different?

Yeah something like that, its slightly glittery, looks amazing in person tho.

With power I guess the only way its possible to split colours is to have a split rim wheel. With normal spray paint you can use masking tape etc.
I'll still ask tho.

 

[Joe#]

Enjoyed reading that.

Nice write up

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

How much would this process cost roughly? Weighing up refurb against different wheels. Thanks.

For 17's its £230 with tyres
£180 without
And somewhere inbetween with tyres but no car I guess.

I finally convinced russ!! Booked in for 2 weeks time so good teamwork there, Tyler

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Yeah he did say Russ phoned him. Nice work

 

[Rob]

thanks mate iv got them 2 colours atm with spray paint as they are not split rims, but iv heard that powder coating is softer and more durable because i had a problem with mine getting scratched everytime i change the tyres (tried different garages all tyre seperators do it to them :S )

anyway lemme know fella and a rough price would be nice mate (they arent damaged just the paint scratched off lol)

 

[Semtax]

They look damn nice :approve:

Do you know how they would refurbish wheels with large plastic center caps covering the wheel nuts ( 8 spoke 182 wheels)? I presume you cant powder coat these a different colour as they're plastic :S

No you can't power coat them at all. Just needs spraying with a rattle can or equivalent

[Liquid yellow 182]

Wow, such an improvement!

 

[Chileno]

Top quality work, looking brand new!

 

[Adam_vxR]

How much would it be to refurb a set of standard clio 182 wheels ? Need mine doing before FCS lol

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Pictures look good Rob, want to see it all complete now.

16" so £210 in colour of choice, but remember the centre caps won't get done

 

[Rob]

I've got some pics in my project thread tyler, just waiting on my centre caps.

You've said above no centre caps, but can't he just paint them in the same colour? I spoke to him about this at the weekend?

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Will take a look.
Yeah I suppose he could, depending on what colour is used I guess.

 

[Slammed172]

Nice thread. A good read.

Powder coating is the only way to go, any other way is w*nk. I cringe at our bodyshop wheel refurbs.

I'll be getting the EP3's all fours done soon-ish, they are in a dire condition.

That's cool is that with tyres on ? as its the wheels on my car now? yeah was thinking about going a bit darker grey then standard but forgot about the centre caps are plastic lol so may be best to go standard colour
but also black wheels might look good how much notice do I need to give to get it booked in ? thanks Adam

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Had a friend do my OZ F1's recently and they look amazing, I bought the wheels and they were in a bit of a state but now they look brand new I almost don't want to use them.....almost. I got them done in anthracite with a gold fleck to them, sounds odd but it contrasts against the flame red of the car really well. I'm going to get my daily wheels done in a high power silver soon as well. I had the anthracite ones laquered as I was told it protects them better against brake dust especially as these will be my track wheels.

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Think it's just anthracite mate, with a light coloured primer.
Never knew but the finish can be altered by what primer is used.
Learn something new everyday
