Scuffed wheels? We’ll make them shine
At our workshop in Grey Lynn, our professional team specialises in transforming scuffed wheels into showroom stunners. Trust Alloy Wheel Repair for fast, professional, dedicated service every time.
Repairing scuffed alloy wheels involves several steps to restore the appearance of the wheels.
Our process
Step 1: Assessment
Our team thoroughly assesses the extent of the scuffing and any additional damage.
Step 2: Cleaning and Preparation
The affected wheels are cleaned to remove dirt, brake dust, and debris and wheel weights, ensuring a clean surface for the repair process.
Step 3: Sanding and Smoothing
Scuffed areas are carefully sanded to remove damaged material and create a smooth surface. Deeper gouges are TIG welded to replace the missing material with alloy so the wheels integrity is not compromised.
Step 4: Filling (if necessary)
Metallic based Fillers are used to level the surface for superficial scuffs, followed by further sanding for smoothness.
Step 5: Priming (if necessary)
A primer (either powder coat or wet spray depending on specific circumstances) enhances adhesion and prepares the surface for painting and clear coating.
Step 6: Painting or Clear Coating
The wheel face is painted to match the original colour, followed by a clear coat (either wet spray or powder coat wherever possible) for a protective finish. The wheel is then baked in our ovens to ensure proper curing and hardening.
Step 7: Curing
The repaired areas are allowed to dry or cure, ensuring the durability of the finish.
Step 8: Buffing and Polishing
Once cured, the entire wheel is buffed and polished to achieve a smooth and consistent finish.
Step 9: Final Inspection
The repaired wheels undergo a final inspection to ensure scuffs are effectively addressed and the appearance meets our high standards.
Step 10: Reinstallation
After passing inspection, the wheels have their respective tyres refitted (or replaced if damaged/worn out) before being balanced and finally reinstalled on your vehicle.
