Powder Coating

Protect Your Truck Wheels Against Damage with a Powder Coat

What's the best way to protect your wheels against scratches and corrosion?

For fleet managers in Dearborn, the answer is easy: powder coat your steel wheels and rims. Powder coating is a wheel reconditioning service in which a technician applies a dry powder to your wheels. The dry powder cures under heat and binds to your wheel as a protective skin. Powders are available in a variety of colors, so in addition to serving as a protective armor, powder coats allow you customize the look of your truck wheels to complement your brand.

The Powder Coating Process

1. Inspect Wheels: In order to powder coat your wheels, we must first inspect and prepare them for the process. A service technician will remove rust and old paint from the wheel and inspect it for cracks and other damage. If a wheel isn't eligible for service here, it's best to replace it before it causes problems.

2. Apply Zinc Coat (Optional): At this stage, we can apply a zinc coat as an additional measure of protection. Zinc is good for rust prevention, so we encourage you to talk with a member of our team if this is a concern you have.

3. Apply Powder Coat: We add the dry powder next, in your preferred choice of color. Since we're using a powder, you don't need to worry about streaks or runs like you would with paint. Your wheel will be fully covered and uniform.

4. Bind Powder to Wheels: At this stage, we run your wheels through a specialized oven to cure the powder and ensure it successfully binds to your wheels.

The entire process is easy to perform and doesn't take long, minimizing downtime. In addition, your powder coat lasts longer than traditional paint finishes, so you don't need to worry about servicing your wheels as often.

At-a-Glance Advantages of Powder Coats

Powder coats offer many advantages over standard wet or sprayed clear coat procedures, including:

• Protection: Powder coats deliver a harder finish compared to conventional wheel paint
• Branding Opportunities: Powder coats are vibrant with many colors available
• Uniform Consistency: There's no worry about paint running with powder coats
