Jaguar Alloys Get a Powder Coat

IMG_2251-2As the owner of a beautiful car like a Jaguar, you’d naturally be concerned about the finish and quality of your alloy wheels. It’s no wonder, therefore, that we recently had a Jaguar driver come to us for a powder coat alloy repair, which gives the best possible finish for your rims.

IMG_2257-2The reason powder coated wheels look better is that the powder coating process creates a smoother and thicker coating, which gives a high quality for much longer than traditional paint methods.

In this case, the alloys had some kerb damage that required our technicians to first sand and file the alloy back into shape. They could only do this, however, after the alloys had been thoroughly cleaned with our AquaBlast machine – something that ensures we can effect the best possible repair rather than simply covering over break dust and other damaging elements.

The alloys are then baked in our specialist oven at 200 degrees Celsius, which ensures that the powder coat hardens and will subsequently be very difficult to remove!

The overall result from powder coating is simply stunning, and we would urge you to consider it if you’re due for a refurb. The great thing about it is that the powder comes in a huge variety of colours, so it’s a great excuse to change your look if you feel that your car is getting a bit stale!
