Alloy wheel refurbishment and tyres in Ayr.

Worn, corroded and kerbed wheels stripped back to bare metal, then primed, painted and lacquered for a factory finish. And yes, we do tyres too.

How we refurbish a wheel

Not just a quick powder coat

Alloys get damaged by kerbing, corrosion and accidents, and even well looked-after wheels lose their shine. Every wheel that comes in goes through the same four stages.

  1. 01

    Stripped back to bare metal

    All the old paint comes off before we start, so we begin afresh. We never paint over previous work.

  2. 02

    Blasted, repaired and prepared

    Kerbing, corrosion and accident damage are repaired, and every wheel is prepared with professional equipment before any paint goes on.

  3. 03

    Primed, then wet painted

    Each wheel is powder coat primed, then wet painted in the finish you choose, from an extensive range of colours.

  4. 04

    Lacquered, balanced and torqued

    A powder acrylic lacquer seals the finish. Wheels and tyres are balanced and torqued before your car comes back to you.

“We powder coat prime them, then we wet paint them, and then powder acrylic lacquer them. It gives you that factory finish.”
Michael McKeown, in Ayrshire Magazine

Finishes

Factory fresh, or something bolder

An extensive range of finishes and colours, whether you want your wheels back to how they left the factory or a look that makes the car stand out.
