Wheel & Rim Powder Coating in the Hudson Valley
Wheels take a beating. Curb rash, peeling clear coat, baked on brake dust, and winter salt eat away at the factory finish until the bare metal shows through. Powder coating rebuilds that barrier the right way.
We blast every wheel down to clean metal, knock out the curb marks and old coating, then lay your color and cure it hard. Gunmetal metallic, satin black, gloss black, bronze, silver, and custom metal flake all come out of the booth looking sharp.
Because the same shop blasts, repairs, and coats, a wheel that comes in with a cracked lip or bent flange can be welded back before it ever sees the powder. One stop, one finished wheel.
Signs You Need Wheel & Rim Coating
Curb Rash and Pitting
Scuffs, gouges, and pits from curbs and debris cover the lip and face. Blasting and coating smooth it out and seal it.
Peeling Clear Coat
The factory clear is flaking, cloudy, or gone. Bare metal is exposed and starting to oxidize.
Brake Dust Staining
Baked on brake dust has etched into the finish and will not wash off. A fresh coat starts clean.
Salt Damage
Winter road salt and calcium chloride have pitted or dulled the wheel. Coat it before the next salt season.
How We Work
Drop Off Bare Wheels
Tires, valve stems, weights, and center caps must be removed before we start.
Blast to Bare Metal
We strip old clear coat, curb rash, and brake dust down to clean metal.
Repair if Needed
Cracked lips or bent flanges get welded before any coating goes on.
Coat and Cure
Your color is applied and heat cured to a hard, durable shell.
Pick Up Sharp
Take home wheels ready to remount, balance, and roll.
Wheels, Salt, and Brake Dust
Road salt and brake dust are the two things that wreck a wheel finish. Salt pits the metal and gets under the clear coat. Brake dust bakes on with heat from the rotor and etches into the surface. Once that damage starts, it spreads fast through a soft finish.
Powder coating fixes it the right way. We strip the wheel to bare metal, which removes the curb rash, old clear, and embedded dust. Then we lay your color and cure it into a hard shell that resists salt, heat, and chemicals far better than the factory clear ever did.
Choosing a color and finish is part of the fun. Gunmetal metallic is a sharp all around choice. Satin black and gloss black hide brake dust and look clean longer. Bronze and silver pop in the sun. Metal flake adds depth and flash. Ask Devin what fits your style and your driving.
Caring for coated wheels in winter is simple. Rinse the salt off when you can. Avoid harsh wheel cleaners that can dull the finish over time. A cured powder shell is tough, but a quick rinse keeps it looking new season after season. Call before you bring them in to ask whether tires should be on or off.

Powder coating is the toughest finish you can put on metal. It goes on dry as a charged powder, bonds to the bare steel, then cures hard in the oven. The result is a shell that shrugs off road salt, brake dust, fuel, grease, and hard knocks far better than spray paint ever will.
SandblastingEvery great metal finish starts with prep. Spraying paint or powder over rust, flaking paint, or road grime guarantees a failed finish. Sandblasting strips away every layer of rot and old coating, leaving clean, raw, etched metal ready to bond.
Metal PolishingDull, oxidation streaked metal ruins the look of hard working rigs and show equipment. Metal polishing takes weathered, chalky surfaces and brings them to a deep, reflective mirror finish that stands out on the road.
