Powder Coating

Kwicksilver now offers powder coating. It is a new alternative to automotive liquid paints. Most new cars have powder coated rims. The powder comes in a wide range of colors and finishes and is extremely durable and long-lasting.

BENEFITS

The benefits of powder-coated wheels include:

• Durability: Powder coating provides a hard and durable surface that is resistant to chips, scratches, and fading.
• Corrosion resistance: The coating provides an excellent barrier against moisture, salt, and other elements that can cause corrosion.
• Aesthetics: Powder coating allows for a wide range of color options and finishes, including gloss, matte, metallic, and textured.
• Environmentally friendly: Powder coating is a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional liquid coatings, as it doesn't emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and generates less waste.

Overall, powder-coated wheels provide a long-lasting, visually appealing, and environmentally friendly option for OE and aftermarket wheels.

PROCESS

The powder material is applied with an electrostatic gun. The gun imparts a positive electric charge on the powder, which is then sprayed towards the grounded object (wheel) by compressed air and then accelerated toward the object by a powerful electrostatic charge. The process creates an incredibly smooth finish that will last for many years.

HUNDREDS OF COLORS AND FINISHES

We offer an extensive selection of colors and finishes, including clear coats, metallic finishes, candy colors, fluorescents, textured coatings, matte to high-gloss options, mirror-like finishes, and captivating iridescent coatings. Don't miss the chance to peruse our gallery, where you can get a glimpse of some of the wheels we’ve worked on.

TURNAROUND TIMES AND PRICING

Generally speaking, turnaround times are just a few days. We recommend bringing your rims in on a Monday for a Friday install back on your car. If you’re in need of a rush job we may be able to place you first in line for an additional 25% fee. Pricing is $200 per powder coated wheel, which includes dismounting the tires, stripping the wheels, powder coat and mounting/balancing when completed. You are not required to bring us a wheel with the tire removed. We will take care of that at no additional cost.
