Wheel Repair and Painting
When we perform wheel repair one of the main focuses for a good finish is the colour matching after the wheel repair, it is important to be able to colour match the wheel repair by eye.
After the wheel repair is complete we use this colour to paint the wheel repaired section for a matching finish. If needed we can change the Wheel Colour for our customers to something custom and we call this a wheel respray or complete wheel painting.
Painted Wheel Repair also means that your wheel will be 95% to brand new when the repair is completed.
There is a 2 year warranty on all our painted wheel repair. We use a 2 pack paint for wheel repair and it is as strong as any brand new car body work paint.
Shadow Chrome Wheel Repair
Shadow Chrome is a specialty colour which is very difficult to match and paint. We can offer wheel repair of shadow chrome wheels to a near perfect matching finish by using our Wheel Repair Colour Matching System .Most shadow chrome wheels are very hard to match , we can offer a 95% colour match on a shadow chrome wheel repair.
Machined Wheel Repair
When repairing machined wheels which have fine CNC lines and a gloss coat on them, we fix the machined part using sanding and polishing technique.
After the damage is repaired we buff and polish your wheels to a high shine.
This machined wheel repair method requires no painting but the repaired area will be slightly noticeable compared to the rest of the wheels.

Buckled Wheel Repair
When we perform a buckled wheel repair one of the main focuses for a good finish is the straightening of the wheel, it is important to be able to repair a buckled wheel using micrometer tooling to ensure its roundness.
