Are You Wondering about Customising Your Vehicle?

About Me
Industrial and Manufacturing in the Modern World

Yo! My name is Ira. Welcome to my cool new blog. The articles on this blog will address the subject of industrial and manufacturing in the modern world. This is a subject I am very familiar with, despite the fact that I have never worked in the industry. I grew up in a household in which my dad and my older brother both worked in the industrial and manufacturing sector. As a child, I learnt all kinds of very cool things while talking to my dad and accompanying him on 'take your kid to work' days. In adulthood, I have maintained a keen interest in the sector.

Are You Wondering about Customising Your Vehicle?

Does your car need more of a personal touch? Buying a new car allows you to choose the make, model and even the colour of the vehicle that you want. However, whatever vehicle you choose, you are likely to see thousands of almost identical vehicles on the road. To stand out and be noticed, you must consider customising your vehicle. Some customisation options, such as the in-car audio system, will be primarily noticeable if you are in the vehicle. However, some customisations can be seen from the outside. One option that can both improve the appearance of your vehicle, and help to protect it, is powder coating for wheels.

Why think about powder coating?

Choosing a vehicle in a colour that you like is great, but by considering additional customisations, such as powder coating for wheels, you can create a truly unique vehicle. Your car will be instantly recognisable, enabling friends and family to spot you from a distance. Powder coating will provide you with a vehicle that tells the world about you and what your personality is like. Creating a smart-looking vehicle is good, but it's not the only reason to consider powder coating for wheels.

Protect your rims 

Your wheels take plenty of punishment. Not only do they travel through a lot of dirt and grime, but they are also regularly struck by stones, gravel and other sharp objects on the surface of the road. Unprotected wheel rims will soon show impact damage from all these objects. You could use liquid paint to colour your wheels, but the paint would soon be chipped or damaged. Powder coating can offer a tough, resilient finish that is not subject to the same limitations as liquid paint and will last much longer.

Apply an even finish

If you have ever tried to paint an uneven surface or areas that are difficult to reach, you will understand how tricky it can be to create a uniform or even finish with liquid paint. Powder coating for wheels uses a different approach to avoid this problem entirely. Instead of a paintbrush, the powder coating is sprayed onto the surface using charged particles that adhere to the wheel. Finally, the wheel rims are baked to create the seamless finish that will increase the appeal of your vehicle

Reduce waste 

It's rare for any painting job to finish a pot of paint. It's almost inevitable that some paint will be leftover and probably wasted. Powder coating for wheels is a waste-free option. Any unused powder can be safely gathered and reused. Nothing goes to landfill sites or contaminates the environment.
