If you are looking for the best finish for your alloy wheels, then we believe a powder coat is a must! It produces a smooth and even finish for the best results. It can also be combined with a diamond cut process. At Diamond Alloys we apply a powder coat finish to all our alloy wheel refurbishments keep our technology and working practices bang up to date by upgrading our machinery and training staff with new and improved techniques.
By using a powder coat machine, we can achieve shorten lead times, so that we can not only offer great looking refurbished alloys wheels but an even better service. The process offers a smoother finish and a quicker bake time, not surprising since the oven heats to an impressive 230℃!
The powder coat process:
• Degas the alloys at 230℃+ for a minimum of 15 minutes
• Turn the heat down to 200℃ – 210℃ as coating begins
• Prime the alloy wheel in the spray booth
• Bake the powder coated alloys for 5 – 10 minutes when last wheel goes back into oven
• Remove wheels once baking is complete and cool to 80℃
• Add the base coat to colour
• Flash off 5 – 10 minutes before putting back into oven
• Put back into oven for 10 – 15 minutes ready for clear coat
• Apply Clear coat
• Put last wheel back into oven and bake for 10 – 15 minutes
• Remove from oven and cool
