Wheel size and number of wheels
Larger wheels use more material and handling time, while a full set can share setup. The diameter and number of wheels should always be included in the enquiry.

Alloy wheel refurbishment cost in Stratford upon Avon
Alloy wheel refurbishment cost depends on wheel size, quantity, corrosion, previous coating, kerb damage, preparation, tyre status and the finish required. A clear set of photos gives a much better starting point than the colour alone.
Corrosion and previous finishes
Peeling lacquer, white corrosion, pitting, thick paint and previous poor refurbishment can increase stripping and preparation time before the wheels are ready for coating.
Kerb damage and structural issues
Cosmetic rim marks and structural damage are not the same. Cracks or severe bends need appropriate wheel repair assessment, while cosmetic preparation is priced as part of the refinishing scope where suitable.
Tyres, valves and masking
Whether tyres and valves are fitted and which functional surfaces need masking can affect the work required. Include these details when asking for a quote.
Colour and finish
Standard blacks, greys and silvers may differ in price from special-effect or multi-layer finishes. Availability and the exact powder system also matter.
Common problems
What we check before coating
Different items fail in different ways. These checks help keep the first assessment realistic and useful.
Rim edge marks and scrapes can affect the final appearance after refinishing.
Failed lacquer and old coating need proper preparation before powder coating.
Alloy wheel corrosion around spokes, edges and bolt holes should be assessed before colour choice.
Old repairs, thick paint or poor finishes can increase the preparation needed.
Process
From assessment to finished coating
The process depends on the item, but the structure keeps preparation, finish choice and expectations clear.
Wheel size, quantity, vehicle type, finish preference and visible damage are checked first.
Corrosion, old coating, kerb marks, bead areas and mounting faces are assessed.
Cleaning, blasting or further preparation is considered based on the wheel condition.
Functional surfaces, holes and contact points are reviewed before coating.
The chosen colour and finish are applied after suitable preparation.
The finished wheels are visually checked before collection or the next arrangement.

Before you enquire
What affects the work
Rust, old coating, surface contamination, access, size, quantity, masking and the chosen finish all affect preparation and powder coating. Dimensions, wheel size, quantity, finish preference and clear condition photos help Powder Beast review the item properly before any job is agreed.
Service questions
What information is needed for a wheel refurbishment quote?
Wheel diameter, number of wheels, tyre status, photos of the face and inner barrel, corrosion or damage close-ups and the preferred finish are the best starting point.
Does corrosion increase the cost?
It can, because heavier corrosion and previous failed finishes may require more stripping and preparation.
Are cracked wheels included in refurbishment?
Structural repair is separate from cosmetic refurbishment. Cracks and severe bends require appropriate repair assessment before powder coating.
Is powder coating included in wheel refurbishment?
The Powder Beast wheel service is built around preparation and a powder coated finish when the wheels are suitable. The exact quoted scope should confirm what is included.
