Alloy wheel refurb
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2024 6:36 pm
I had my wheels refurbished a few years ago now at a reputable place in Mansfield. They convinced me that modern paint was as good as powder coating.
So two years down the line I've got stone chips all over my wheels and bubbling around the centre caps and bolt holes where the weather has got under the paint.
So would powder coating have lasted longer? Wouldn't it just scrape off where the tapered seat of the bolts touch it and then the weather gets in? Is it more resistant to stone chips?
How long would you expect a powder coated wheel to last?
