An alloy wheel wrap is one of the simplest ways to change how a car looks. The liquid coating changes colour or finish and, unlike powder coating, can be peeled off later.
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.

DIY vs. Professional:
DIY is possible: DIY alloy wheel respray kits are available, but it’s a time-consuming and somewhat tricky process.
Benefits of a professional: We have all the latest equipment and fully trained to carry out your liquid wrapped alloy wheels. Our team have the latest equipment, experience, and paint materials to ensure a durable, high-quality finish that will last. We can also offer a wider variety of paint options, including custom colours.
Additional Considerations:
Cost: Professional respraying is generally more expensive than a DIY approach, but the cost varies depending on the size of the wheels, the complexity of the design, and the number of paint coats applied.
Downtime: We will require your wheels for a few days to ensure that we carry out the professional finish you are looking for.

People often ask: can you wrap alloy wheels if they are already scuffed? Light marks can be cleaned and sanded first, but kerb damage, corrosion or flaking paint should be dealt with before coating, otherwise it shows through. We check wheel condition when you enquire and tell you honestly whether a wrap is the right fix.
The main reason to wrap alloy wheels instead of refurbishing them is flexibility. The coating can be removed when you sell the car or fancy a change, and it adds a layer against chips and road salt. A full refurbishment is permanent and is the better choice for wheels with deep cosmetic or structural damage.
With alloy wheel wrapping, Norwich drivers can go matt, gloss or even colour-shifting. A popular pairing is gloss black wheels with a black roof and dechromed window surrounds, which ties the whole car together. See our roof wraps page for ideas on matching finishes. We can advise on combinations that suit your car's paint colour.
