Work Preparation
The crucial stage
The right preparation is crucial for the quality and durability of the coating. In the first step, factory-painted wheels undergo a chemical “soft stripping” process to remove all old paint residues. For unpainted wheels, this process is skipped, and the process begins with the second station: the smoothing process. This process refines the surface of the raw rim to achieve a smoother and more uniform coating. In the first step, the rims are sand blasted with glass beads. Then, they move to the two-stage vibratory grinding systems. The coarse grinding mechanically vibrates the wheel and removes any burrs that may arise after milling. The fine grinding smooths out all irregularities and makes the surface extremely even, smooth, and ready for adhesion. Any visible irregularities remaining are addressed by handwork.
