alloy
Stage 1

Shows the wheel how we first recieve it, if a tyre is fitted we remove it before we start so that we have full access to the wheel rim

Stage 2

We chemically strip the alloy so that it is fully stripped of its old finish.

Stage 3

Your wheel is put into our shot blasting cabinet to remove any corrosion and pitting in the surface; this also highlights any imperfections which can then be dressed & filled. We then wash the wheel before preparing it for powder.

Stage 4

Consists of simply preparing the wheel ready for powder. This gives the wheel a rather matt look.

Stage 5

Is powder coating to give the alloys a shiny gloss, it is then cured at high temperature. This temperature is critical for powder coat, and provices the long lasting protection. Many companies heat at incorrect and inconsistant temperatures. At KAP our wheel engineers have the perfect temperature to ensure perfect curing.

Stage 6

Is painting the alloy with any special paint effect you wish. To finish it off we add a coat of crystal clear laquer to enhance and protect the finish, again cured at a very high temperature. The wheel is then polished up to perfection.

 
 

During this procedure your tyre (if fitted) will be removed to ensure that we gain total access to the wheel rim. We will repair any kerb damage and or corrosion. The wheel face is also repaired and flatted down to a suitable standard for priming.

The chosen base colour is then applied (2 - 3 coats) finally an OEM clear lacquer is applied to seal and finish (2 - 3 coats). Your wheel then goes into an oven to be cured this ensures maximum durability and protection from the coating process. Finally your tyre (if fitted), is refitted, new valve fitted (standard valves only), re - inflated and rebalanced ready for use.

 

During this process, your tyre is removed along with the valve and any weights. The wheel is then fully stripped of its old finish. We then put the wheel into our shot blasting cabinet to remove any corrosion and pitting in the surface; this also highlights any imperfections which can then be dressed and filled.

Please be aware that some alloy wheels may not be able to be repaired as the damage could have seriously damaged the structural integrity. Please ask one of our trained technicians who will be more than happy to advise you. Your wheel is then powder coated and cured at high temperature. After cooling down, we will have any special paint effect added, finally the wheel recieves a coat of crystal clear powder coat lacquer to enhance and protect the finish, and this again is cured at high temperature.

 

Diamond cutting involves removing a thin layer from the wheel using specialist lathing equipment. With our bespoke in house CNC diamond cutting lathe we will provide you with the highest quality diamond cut alloy finish. Our CNC lathe provides exceptional accuracy that is un matched in the industry.

So what is a Diamond Cut Wheel?

A diamond cut alloy wheel is an alloy wheel which has been put on a lathe and part of the entire surface is cut off to leave an amazingly shiny alloy finish. After the lathing the alloy is then lacquered to prevent any corosion. You will be able to see if your wheel is diamond cut if there are very small lines on the face of the wheel, which are created by the lathe.
