Remove the tyres from the wheel, plus all balancing weights and valves. Tyres are visually inspected for wear and damage, marked with the customers reference number.

Step Three
Wheels are placed in chemical stripping tanks to remove all paint, lacquer and any accumulated deposits.

Step Four
Once the wheels have been stripped of all paint and previous coating, they are then inspected for any damages such as buckles cracks and curb damage.

Step Five
If any structural repairs are required they are now carried out. Rim Straightening for buckles and bends, also alloy welding for cracks and deep surface damage.

Step Seven
Once the wheels have been fully repaired they are pre-heated in the oven powder coated in primer undercoat.

Step Eight
The wheels are placed in the oven again for heating, we will now spray the colour onto the wheels either in powder or wet paint dependent on the customers requirements.

Step Ten
Powder lacquer known for its durability is applied to the whole of the wheel, to protect the wheel from road salt, brake dust etc. For a final time the wheel is cured in the oven.
