Alloy Wheel Wraps can be a great way to refresh their look, improve their condition, or even completely change their style. Here’s what you need to know about alloy wheel liquid wrapping.
The Process:
Preparation is key: Professional alloy wheel wraps involves thoroughly cleaning the wheels to remove dirt, grease, and any loose paint. This is followed by sanding the surface to create a good key for the new paint to adhere to.
Stripping vs. Painting over: In some cases, the existing paint may need to be completely stripped off, especially if it’s damaged or flaking.
Painting: Several coats of high-quality paint designed specifically for wheels are applied. This is usually followed by a clear coat for added protection and shine.
