What is powder coating and why it works so well on wheels
Powder coating is a finishing process that uses a dry powder instead of liquid paint. The powder is applied electrostatically, then cured under heat so it melts, flows, and forms a smooth, hard “skin” over the metal. The result is a thicker, more durable finish that holds up better to chips, scratches, and fading. It is a popular choice for wheel rims because it creates a protective layer that looks great and lasts.
Corrosion & Weather Resistance
Our process includes thorough cleaning and preparation before coating. Combined with quality powder, this provides excellent corrosion resistance and better protection against moisture, salt, and UV exposure.
Custom Colors & Finishes
Choose from a wide variety of colors and finishes including matte, gloss, satin, metallic, and custom shades. We can help you match accents on your vehicle or build a completely unique look for your wheels.

Our Powder Coating Process
- 1. Preparation: Wheels are thoroughly cleaned and stripped of old paint, rust, and contaminants using methods like sandblasting or chemical stripping so the new coating can bond correctly.
- 2. Application: We apply powder using an electrostatic spray gun. Charged powder particles cling to the grounded wheel surface for even, consistent coverage.
- 3. Curing: Wheels go into a curing oven where controlled heat causes the powder to melt and flow, forming a smooth, hard finish. Typical curing takes about 10 to 30 minutes at temperatures around 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 4. Inspection: After cooling, each wheel is inspected for uniform coverage, color consistency, and overall quality before being cleared to go back on your vehicle.
