Services
Powder Coating
We provide high-performance powder coating for metal components using advanced spray technology and durable epoxy-polyester powders. Our 8m x 3m curing oven accommodates large-scale projects while maintaining vibrant, weather-resistant finishes. Clients benefit from a 1-year guarantee on all coatings and access to over 150 RAL/BS colour options.
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Our alloy wheel refurbishment service restores kerb-damaged wheels through chemical stripping, shot blasting, and protective powder coating. We offer same-day turnaround for select models and use German-engineered lacquer to seal against road salts. Customers receive a free damage assessment and cost-effective alternative to wheel replacement.
Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels
Specialist diamond cutting creates precision finishes on alloy wheels using computer-controlled machining. This process removes minimal material while achieving showroom-quality aesthetics. The service includes protective lacquering to maintain the polished appearance against environmental damage and regular wear.
Classic Restorations
We restore classic vehicles and antique metalwork through shot blasting, powder coating, and component refurbishment. Our expertise covers motorcycle frames, scooter panels, and cast iron fixtures. The process preserves original materials while enhancing durability and visual appeal with custom colour matching.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting removes old coatings and contaminants from metal surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion for subsequent treatments. This industrial-grade process prepares materials for powder coating or repainting, improving finish longevity. We handle both small components and large structural elements.
