Tough, even finishes for wheels, bike frames, and industrial metal parts
Why choose Alloy Wheel Repair for powder coating?
Our dedicated powder coating service in Grey Lynn provides professional-grade coating for alloy wheels, motorcycle and bicycle frames, and other metal components.
Whether you’re restoring damaged wheels or refinishing a custom part, our process delivers a smooth, durable finish that resists corrosion, chips, and heat.
Unlike most wheel shops, we do it all in-house: stripping, prepping, coating, and curing in our purpose-built powder coating booth and oven setup.

What is powder coating and when do you need it?
Powder coating is an acrylic or polyester-based coating that is electrostatically applied to a suitable substrate.
It bonds dry pigment to preheated metal parts, baking it on at high temperature for a hard, durable, and even finish.
Because it’s so durable compared to a standard painted finish, powder coating is ideal for use on alloy wheels, brakes, steering, and suspension components, and it’s widely used in the automotive industry.
It’s far more resistant to chipping, scratching and flaking compared to paint.
Plus, it won’t “yellow” when exposed to UV rays for prolonged periods, as is the case with painted finishes.
If your wheels, bike frame, brake callipers or metal components have faded, corroded, or you want a custom colour change, powder coating is your best bet.
We also powder coat as part of full wheel refurbishments:
See our Mag Wheel Repair and Bent & Cracked Wheel Repair services for details.
What we can powder coat
We can coat almost any metal part that can withstand baking temperatures:
- Alloy and mag wheels
- Motorcycle parts and bike frames
- Metal bumpers, brackets, and panels
- Suspension components and custom-built parts
- Industrial components, hinges, handles and other hardware.
If the item fits in our ovens and can handle ~250°C, we can likely powder coat it.

Our powder coating process
Our process
1. Strip
We usually chemically strip or sandblast all existing paint or powder using fire-safe materials. See Chemical Stripping for more on this stage.
2. Prep
We vapour blast, clean, and inspect the surface for cracks or flaws. Any structural damage can be referred for TIG Welding or Bent & Cracked Wheel Repair as needed.
3. Coat
Powder coat primer is electrostatically applied using a professional application system. Once the primer has been cured and prepared, we then apply the base pigment before finally applying the durable clear coat finish. We offer gloss, satin, satin matte, or full matte finish. We also have an extensive range of metallic and textured finishes available.
4. Bake
The part is cured in our high-temp oven until the coating fully bonds.
5. Final check
We inspect and, if needed, rework any part to meet our standard. In the case of Wheels, the tyres are refitted and rebalanced before being refitted to the vehicle.

“Not the cheapest option available around but definitely the best result. These guys fixed a crack, sandblasted, removed curbing, repainted then machines and clear coated 4x 22” SQ7 wheels which are $3500 each to replace and they came up looking brand new.” Google Review from Victor Green |
