If you're after a tough, sleek-looking finish for your car’s wheels or metal parts, powder coating might be just the job. It’s a smart choice for anyone who wants looks and longevity - whether you're upgrading alloys or restoring a classic.

Here’s what powder coating involves, how it compares to paint, and how long it lasts - and how to find a garage to powder coat your vehicle.

What is powder coating?

Powder coating is a method of applying a dry, powdered paint to metal surfaces, which is then baked on at high temperature to create a hard, even finish.

It’s most commonly used on:

• Alloy wheels

• Chassis and suspension parts

• Brake calipers

• Custom or restoration builds

The result is a smooth, durable coat that resists chips, rust, scratches, and fading far better than standard paint. It also comes in a wide range of colours and finishes - gloss, matte, satin, even textured.

Is it better to powder coat or paint my wheels?

Powder coating is ideal for wheels and metal components. It lasts longer, looks sharper, and provides better protection than traditional wet paint.

Spray painting, on the other hand, offers a smoother finish, is available in more colours, and is usually cheaper. The effect won’t last as long as a powder coating, however, nor will it be as durable.

How long will a powder coat last?

With proper prep and application, a powder coat can last 10+ years - even longer in mild conditions. It’s highly resistant to corrosion, flaking and UV damage, making it ideal for British roads (especially in winter).

To keep it looking its best:

• Wash regularly with mild soap and water

• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes

• Rinse off road salt in winter to prevent long-term damage

When done right, powder coating is a solid investment - one that looks good and stands up to real-world use.
