Blasting them down to the bare metal gives us a fresh canvas to provide a unique coating for that custom look.

Here we have the stages from how we received them to the finished product.  This is a 3 piece wheel that we did the Lip and Barrel in a Gloss Black and the centers in Matte Black.  Great looking wheel for this customer’s ride.

Here are the wheels as we received them, ready for a new look for sure.

Here we have a set of Harley Davidson Sportster wheels.  As you can see from the first picture they have seen better days.  Years of use and the environment have put them in a sad state of appearance.  But IPG Coating can bring them back to as good as new with our coating capabilities.  This customer didn’t want to be too flashy but still restore the wheel to have a great look.  We chose the AIO Chrome for this project and as you can see the results are just amazing.

The wheels as they looked when they arrived to the shop. Years of use can make these great looking wheels look poorly.

Here is a shot of the wheel blasted and ready for coating. It is always interesting to see what the parts look like after the media blasting is performed.

The finished product in AIO Chrome. The AIO Chrome gives the wheel a bit more gloss than a basic silver. A great look for sure. Ready to give the motorcyle an entirely new, refreshed look.

As you can see the wheels were in rough shape when we received thm but with the IPG Coating treatment and some Cast Aluminum color powder they look as good as new, if not better.

Here are the wheels as we received them. Not looking so great but after blasting them with Glass Bead and prepping for the Coating process we had a great finished product.

This is a great drag wheel type setup from Billet Specialties. They come with a very nice polished aluminum look directly from the manufacturer but this customer was after a more stealth look that our powder coating services can offer.

Follow the picture timeline below as we go through the process of making over this wheel for a great new look.

Billet Specialty Wheels as they looked when dropped off by the customer. As you can see they have a nice look to them already but with the large array of coating color options personalization is very easy.

billetspecialtyprepped.s

This picture shows the wheels after the initial prep process. Putting them in the Blast Cabinet and hitting them with Glass Bead takes off any old coatings, paint, etc, that is on the wheels to prepare the surface for the coating process. Ater this we do a small amount more cleaning of the wheel, then pre-bake it, coat it and final cure it.

Finished product. The Super Mirror High Gloss Black looks incredible in person. Hard for the pictures to do it justice. What a great way to personalize your vehicle. This particular color is quickly becoming one of our most popular options.
