Wheel Refurbishing
A substantial amount of our wheel repair work involves restoring
& refurbishing old or damaged wheels. Most wheels will, at some
stage, suffer from aluminum oxidation where the paint bubbles due
to trapped water resulting from stone chips. A full refurbish is
the only successful method of solving this.
Faded or Tarnished wheels can benifit from a reburbish to bring
them back to orginal condition. We specialise in 2 & 3 Piece
split wheels with polished rims and painted centres.
- Wheel is chemically cleaned to eradicate dirt and brake
dust.
- A solvent based solution is then applied to remove existing
lacquer and paint without damaging the alloy.
- The wheel is then checked for straightness and any chips,
cracks or kerbing damage is then repaired.
- An acid etching procedure is applied to ensure optiumum primer
adhesion to the surface of the wheel.
- Finally the wheels are ready for your choice of color(s) before
being oven baked.
- For Spilt rims there is an optional polishing on the rim
in a mirror finish or a satin finish.
