First inspection: Prior to the refinishing process, the steel wheel and steel wheel rim should be thoroughly inspected for any damage or out-of-service conditions. Remove dirt, grease or debris prior to paint removal process.
Second Coating removal: When you are removing the coating of steel wheel and steel wheel rim, you should make sure about that the dirt is washed out. Most processes employ a blasting cabinet that uses media such as metal shot, glass beads or other material. Sandblasting or grit by itself is not recommended.
Inspection: After the coating has been removed, the steel wheel and steel wheel rim should be inspected for any cracks or out-of-service conditions.
Steel wheel handling: Bare steel wheel should not come in contact with the floor or other contaminants. To protect the bare wheels from moisture, the surface should be coated promptly to prevent flash rusting.
Finish application: Powder coat involves the application of an electro statically charged powder paint that is cured in an oven. Once out of the oven, the steel wheel and steel wheel rim can be returned to service in a relatively short period of time. If solvent or water-based paints are applied to steel wheel and steel wheel rim, the finish may dry at room temperature or be cured in an oven. Regardless of the type of finish applied to the steel wheel and steel wheel rim, it should be no more than 3.5 mils total thickness on the mounting surfaces as measured mid-way between the bolt holes in a minimum of five locations on both sides of the steel wheel.
Curing: All powder coat steel wheel refinishing systems use an oven or other heat source to cure the coating. For air-dry coatings, the time required to ensure complete curing of material is at least three days. Baking the painted steel wheel and steel wheel rim will speed up curing time.
Finally inspection: After the finish has been cured to manufacturer’s recommendations, the steel wheel and steel wheel rim should be inspected for runs or excessive coating thickness.
