Powder Coating tends to be thicker and more dense than paint, making a more durable colour coating for metal components. Powder coating can also be more diverse than paint because different textures and colors can be achieved through different powder materials

The powder is physically much tougher than liquid paint. Because of the curing step in the powder coating process and because it can be applied as a thicker coating, it is resistant to chipping, scratching, and other types of wear.

What Is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a specialist finishing process that involves fully stripping the wheel back, applying electrostatically charged powder, and baking it at high temperature to create a hard, durable coating.Unlike standard wet spray finishes, powder coating bonds to the surface and offers:
  • Increased durability
  • Better resistance to chips and corrosion
  • Even, smooth coverage
  • Long-lasting colour stability
It’s the ideal option if you want a tougher finish or a complete colour change.
