Upgrade Your Wheels with Durable Powder Coating & Ceramic Coating
Powder Coating Services in Ontario, CAStrengthening Wheels, Rims, Auto Parts
Your vehicle’s wheels are not only functional but also a key aesthetic component. Over time, they can become damaged, faded, or just lose their luster. At IPAC Automotive, we offer professional powder coating and ceramic coating services to restore and protect your wheels, giving your ride an impressive, long-lasting finish.
What is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to metal surfaces like wheels. It involves applying an electrostatically charged powder made of pigments and polymer resins, which is then cured under heat to form a smooth, durable coating.
Some key benefits of powder coating include:
- Excellent Durability: Powder coatings create a stronger, longer-lasting finish compared to traditional liquid paint, better resisting chips, scratches, and fading from UV exposure.
- Unlimited Color Options: With virtually unlimited color choices, you can customize your wheels to perfectly complement your vehicle’s paint.
- Environmentally Friendly: Powder coating uses no solvents and releases very few volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it an eco-friendly process. Ceramic Coating
Powder Coating vs. Liquid Paint
While high-quality automotive liquid paints can provide a great finish, powder coating offers some distinct advantages, including:
Superior Chip Resistance – The curing process allows the powder to form an inseparable bond with the wheel surface, creating a finish far more resistant to chipping from road debris.
Thicker, More Uniform Finish – Powder coating completely encapsulates the wheel in a thick, consistent layer without runs, drips, or uneven coverage.
Faster Curing/Drying – Powder coating fully cures in a matter of minutes with heat lamps versus liquid paints that can take hours to fully dry.
The Powder Coating Process at IPAC Automotive
At our state-of-the-art facility, we follow a meticulous multi-step powder coating process:
- Wheel Preparation – The wheels are thoroughly cleaned and prepped to ensure the powder coating adheres properly.
- Powder Application – An electrostatically charged powder is applied using specialty equipment, ensuring an even coat with no missed areas.
- Curing – The coated wheels go into a curing oven where high temperatures cause a chemical reaction, allowing the powder to flow and form a super-durable finish.
- Quality Inspection – Each wheel goes through a detailed quality check before being cleared for installation.
Our team has years of experience and training in powder coating to deliver flawless results every time. We use only premium powder coating materials to ensure your wheels look stunning and stay protected for years to come.
What is Ceramic Coating for Wheels?
While powder coating provides an attractive colored finish, ceramic coating takes wheel protection to the next level. It is a liquid polymer that is applied, creating an extremely thin but rock-hard clear coat over the wheels.
Ceramic coatings offer:
- Unbeatable Surface Protection – Forming a semi-permanent bond with the wheel surface, ceramic coatings shield against scratches, brake dust, road grime, and harsh environmental impacts.
- Hydrophobic Properties – Water, mud, and other contaminants are extremely repelled, ensuring your wheels stay cleaner longer with easier maintenance.
- Enhanced Gloss and Shine – Ceramic coatings add an unparalleled liquid gloss that further amplifies the look of your newly coated wheels.
The Science Behind Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coatings utilize advanced nanotechnology to create their unique protective properties. They are made up of ultrafine particles of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), which bond together to form a clear, rigid film on the surface.
This nano-ceramic structure creates a surface far more resistant to deterioration from UV light, heat, and chemicals compared to traditional clear coats. The coating’s hydrophobic properties cause water, dirt, and other contaminants to simply bead up and roll off rather than adhere to the wheel surface.
IPAC's Ceramic Wheel Coating Process
Once your wheels have been powder coated to perfection, we recommend adding a ceramic coating for the ultimate protection and shine:
- Decontamination – The powder coated surface is meticulously decontaminated to ensure a perfect ceramic coating application.
- Ceramic Application – Using high-quality professional ceramic coating formulas, multiple ultra-thin coats are carefully applied to build up comprehensive coverage.
- Curing and Inspection – The coating is allowed to cure fully according to the product specifications before a final white-glove inspection.
The combination of powder coating and ceramic coating delivers showroom-fresh wheels with a finish built to last. Your vehicle will look its absolute best while being shielded from the elements.
