What is the difference between powder coating, diamond cut and alloy wheel repairs?
There are plenty of confusing terms thrown around when it comes to getting your kerbed wheels fixed! Below we explain the different terms which all fall under the general category of alloy wheel refurbishment.
However, you do not need to know the below in any detail! We will be able to inform you of the best options for your wheels when you get a wheel refurbishment quote.
A basic but effective refurbishment where wheels are cleaned, any damage is fixed, and then they are repainted with the original or a custom colour.
Ideal for: Everyday wear and tear like minor scuffs or scratches.
A more durable option where a powder paint is applied and then baked on. This creates a tough finish that is more resistant to chips and scratches than regular paint.
Ideal for: Those looking for a long-lasting, tough finish with a variety of colour choices.
This is the same as above for powder coating, but is followed by additional steps to get a high-end finish where the wheel face is precision-machined to a shiny metal finish, followed by a protective lacquer. The result is a striking two-tone effect with polished metal and painted areas.
Ideal for: Those wanting a premium look, often seen on high-end or sporty vehicles.
A localised repair that targets a small area of damage, like a scratch or scuff, without needing to refurbish the whole wheel. Paint is blended seamlessly into the existing finish. This can be done using a garage or mobile alloy wheel repairer.
Ideal for: Quick fixes for minor damage when the rest of the wheel is in good condition.
A comprehensive process that involves stripping the wheel down completely, repairing all damage, and reapplying paint or powder coating. This can include processes like welding for cracked alloys.
Ideal for: Severely damaged wheels or those wanting a full refresh for a long-lasting result.
This involves any special requests like custom colours, special effects (like metallic or pearlescent finishes), or even applying patterns or logos.
Ideal for: Personalising your wheels to stand out or match your vehicle’s theme.
Some high-performance or classic wheels are made in sections (split rims). Refurbishment of these involves dismantling the wheel, refurbishing each part separately, and then reassembling them.
Ideal for: High-end or performance vehicles that come with multi-piece wheels.
Cracked wheels can often be repaired using specialist welding techniques. The cracked area is cleaned, welded, and then reshaped to restore the wheel’s structural integrity.
Ideal for: Wheels with minor to moderate cracks that can be safely repaired without compromising strength. Severe cracks may require replacement instead.
How are alloy wheels refurbished?
This varies depending on whether this is completed through a mobile repair service or conducted on-site. It also depends on the type of alloy wheel you have.
For on-site alloy wheel refurbishment you would normally drop off and collect your car, or a driver can collect and return it for you. A courtesy car might be required to keep you mobile. The general process is:
- Removal and Cleaning: Wheels are removed, cleaned, and stripped of old coatings.
- Inspection and Repairs: Inspection for damages, straightening, and necessary repairs.
- Priming: Application of primer to prepare the surface.
- Painting or Powder Coating: Application of automotive paint or powder coating.
- Baking or Curing: Baking or curing to ensure a durable finish.
- Clear Coat Application: Application of a clear coat for protection and gloss.
- Inspection & Reassembly: Final inspection for even and smooth finish.
Will the colour of the refurbished wheel match the other wheels?
The wheel colour can be matched to the original during the repair or refurbishment process. However, a new colour can be chosen if you want to change the appearance of all your wheels. Popular colour choices include:
- Silvers, greys and blacks
- For sportier models, gold, bronze and whites
- For custom looks, any colour you desire!
What types of wheel finishes are available?
The are quite a few types of wheel finishes, the most common being:
- Painted and lacquered
- Powder coated
- Diamond cut
These are less common and might be found on classic cars and higher end performance vehicles:
- Split rims
- Wire wheels
- Chrome
- Anodised
- Note, some wheels are a mixture of the various finishes
At your home or workplace
Depending on the level of repair, it's possible your wheels can be repaired by a mobile wheel refurbisher.
