OUR PROCESS

We don't do a quick 'touch up' from the back of a van.

All of our wheels are fully stripped and powder coated inside and out, as they would have been from the factory when new.

Please Note:

Upon collection of your Vehicle it is the Customer’s responsibility to re-check Tyre pressures and Wheel Nut Torque settings. Our fully trained Staff will only use Manufacturer and Industry standard guidelines and recommended settings when carrying out any work.

Paint It UK LTD takes no responsibility for the condition of customers ‘TPMS’ Wheel Pressure Sensors or breakages during removal of the valve or stem. These parts are prone to corrosion and in many cases, are a single use rubber valve that has to be replaced every time according to Vehicle Manufacturers upon removal and during Tyre fitting/changing.

Our powder coated finishes are covered with a 3 Year Guarantee upon Date of Invoice. This does not cover Kerbing, Tyre Machine damage or poor use of cleaning materials or wire brushes.

Our Guarantee does not include Diamond Cut finishes. Diamond Cutting is a very precise process which requires specialist equipment and extended time to reproduce to a Factory Finish.  Corrosion is a common issue with Diamond Cut finishes, the process of applying a long lasting Powder Coat Lacquer to a Machine Polished Metal surface requires great knowledge and skill regarding baking processes, techniques in application and materials used. Something as simple as a stone chip, slight kerbing, tyre changing or even washing wheels new or refurbished with unsuitable chemicals can cause the Lacquer to deteriorate very quickly and appear cloudy or completely flake away from the surface. 

Diamond Cutting requires a thin layer of material to be removed from the surface of the profile of the Wheel using CNC Lathing equipment. Diamond Cut Wheels can only be refurbished a certain amount of times depending on the style of wheel. There are a few common issues with Diamond Cutting that are important to be mindful of.

• Wheels that are heavily damaged, out of shape or buckled will need to be TIG Welded, straightened or in extreme cases even need replacing with a completely new Wheel. The quality of Metal used when manufacturing an Alloy Wheel greatly affects how a Wheel will Weld and Machine. Straightening Wheels can improve the balancing and finish of a wheel vastly, but can also lead to Wheels fracturing and requiring further Welding or replacing.

• If a Wheel has been Diamond Cut before, or requires more surface material to be machined than for example another Wheel from the same set, two main issues can arise.  The first being the shape of a spoke or outer lip may become less prominent or change completely. The second is a term known as a ‘Mapping Line’. Mapping Lines become visible along edges and corners of spokes during the Diamond Cutting process when a Wheel has been machined previously causing the fine amounts of metal being removed to reveal a smooth border of Powder Coat Primer high-lighting the polished surface. We will always aim to minimise to what extent these Mapping Lines appear and our highly skilled Wheel Technicians will advise customers on what to expect and of any issues that may occur when refurbishing their Wheels in an honest and professional manner always.
