Benefits of Powder Coating Your Wheels & Rims

JR Wheel • Nov 29, 2022

Powder coating is a great way to improve your wheels’ appearance at a reduced cost compared to buying new wheels. The process involves coating the surface of your rims with a dry powder that is applied electrostatically and then heat-cured. The powder is polymer-based with a mix of curing additives, leveling agents, pigments, resin, and flow modifiers. The blended powder bonds to the electrically excited surface and the wheels are then baked in an oven or kiln. The powder melts, coating the wheels with an even surface. It cures an extremely hard, even, smooth surface as the coating cools.

 

This method saves you the cost of acquiring custom rims when the old ones start to look tired. Powder coating makes your wheels more durable than painting them, and it is resistant to flaking and chipping. The powder-coated surface strongly bonds with the metallic surface on your rims and it gives your rims a brand-new look.

 

Pros of Powder Coating Your Wheels and Rims

 

It is non-porous . Even paint and lacquers allow a small amount of moisture to get through them with time, passing through to the aluminum and starting to corrode it from the inside. Powder-coated wheels do not suffer from the ‘bubbling’ that other finishes finally succumb to.

 

It is durable. Powder coating is a thicker, more hard-wearing surface treatment, that can last as long as three times that of normal paints and lacquered surfaces. 

 

Consistent covering. Because it is an electrostatic process, the powder coating mix it attracted to the surface in an even layer. Giving a consistent finish when baked. There is also no risk of drips and runs forming.

 

Quicker process. With the wheel prepped, the actual application and curing time is much lower than traditional painting and lacquering as there is only the application of the mix and curing operations to carry out.

Multiple materials. The powder coating technique can be applied to several different wheel materials including steel and stainless steel, as well as aluminum alloy.
