More and more people are seeking services to customise and design their cars in Northern Ireland. Powder coating is an extremely popular choice for those wishing to upgrade their alloy wheels in Northern Ireland due to its durability and consistency.
What is powder coating in Northern Ireland?
Powder coating is a method of dry finishing for alloy wheels. This method of alloy wheel treatment works by using a spray gun which operates under electrostatic charge and is also a great option for those seeking a high-quality, durable finish on their vehicle. As well as this, powder coating is advantageous for vehicles because it creates the opportunity for the customisation of alloy wheel designs.
How does powder coating in Northern Ireland work?
1. Primer
We begin our powder coating process in Northern Ireland by applying a primer. This requires a state-of-the-art powder coating gun. By applying primer to your alloy wheels, we guarantee a robust and ultra-smooth base coat.
Following this, the alloy wheels cure in an oven for 20 minutes. This step is extremely important to enhance the durability of your alloy wheels. The heat induces a chemical reaction which produces long molecular chains. These chains are also extremely resistant to breakdown. We then cure the wheels to achieve a resilient coating – this will not be achieved with any other method.
2. Colour paint
Once the primer has been applied to your alloy wheels, the next stage is to get creative and add colour. At East Coast Coatings in Larne, we offer a diverse range of colours that are available for powder coating your alloy wheels. As well as this, we use the same OEM paint as car manufacturers around the world.
3. Clear-coat finish
After applying the coloured powder coating to your alloy wheels, we apply a ‘clear coat’. This is a powder acrylic lacquer and it is applied to the entire wheel. By using the highest-quality lacquer available in the industry, we guarantee to leave your alloy wheels with the best possible protection. In addition to this, the cleaning and maintenance of your alloy wheels become much easier. Finally, the wheels are cured in the oven again before completion.
