The Refurbishment process
Step 1
Removing the wheels from a vehicle
If we have the car on site it will be parked within our secure premises for the duration of the repair.
Step 4
Shot blasting - further cleaning of the wheel
The wheel is then sandblasted in a special blasting cabinet for more cleaning, corrosion removal and this also prepares the surface for powder coating.
Step 7
Painting the wheel
First, the wheel is placed into the oven for the preheating process. After this new powder primer is applied-After the powder is applied the wheels go back in the oven for curing process-After the curing process, the wheels are allowed to cool down slightly before the colour application and powder coat clear lacquer. The wheels are then taken placed back in the oven to harden the coatings and ensure a full cure.
Step 2
Removing the tyres, weights and valve
The tyres are removed and inspected, If we spot unsafe tyres we will draw your attention. We reserve the right to refuse to refit tyres which are deemed to be unsafe.
Step 5
Wheel inspection
Once the wheel is fully cleaned it is much easier to see any cracks or structural damage. The wheels are then tested on a balancing machine to check for any bends or buckles. At this stage, we will notify you if there is any damage and advise if the wheel can be repaired.
Step 8
Tyre fitting & balancing
Once the wheels are complete we fit new rubber valves (if the wheels had metal valves or sensors these are checked and refitted).The tyres are then refitted and balanced.
Step 3
Stripping previous paintwork.
The wheel is then dipped in a special chemical solution to strip away the existing finish. The entire wheel is fully stripped back to bare aluminium. The wheel is fully checked for any damage.
Step 6
Preparing kerbed surface for paint
The next step is selective machining to remove all kerb damage from the surface of the wheel (if damage is very deep it can be filled with aluminium and welded to return it to its original shape.
Step 9
Fitting wheels to the car
The wheels are fitted to the car and final checks are carried out including tyre pressures and wheel bolts torque and tightening.
