The Growing Advantage of Powder Coating - Rick’s Wheels in Syracuse, NY

Industrial

Syracuse, NY, September 6, 2018 – Recognized as a growing leader in quality powder coating, Rick’s Wheels located at 6679 Moore Road, Syracuse, New York 13211 features top-quality powder coating services for business, residential and personal needs.

The reason for the growing use of powder coating is because it produces an attractive finish on metal that offers resistance to corrosion, impact, abrasion, fading from sunlight, and extreme durability. It is becoming a very cost-effective alternative to buying new and there is the environmental benefit because it eliminates unnecessary product waste.

In the automotive industry powder coating is used on wheels, bumpers, roll-bars, and much more. Because of the process from prep to application and oven curing, creates a finish that is more durable than standard paint. For parts that are exposed to the elements on a regular basis that durability is highly desired.

Today powder coating is one of the most durable surface finishes. The process involves an application of the dry “powder”, which has the look and feel of crumbled plastic, to the desired part, instead of the traditional liquid paint that has been traditionally used for decades. The part to be painted is blasted and cleaned and once that part is ready, the prepared components are then taken to a special powder coating booth where the components are electrically grounded. With the use of an electrostatic gun, the powder is sprayed using a positive electric charge, causing the grounded part to attract particles and provide for a smooth even coating, after which the parts are then taken to an oven for curing which will create an even and smooth finish.

Over the past 17 years Rick’s Wheels has offered the highest quality, precision wheel and rim powder coating for cars and trucks, and commercial fleets, as well as motorcycle, ATV, metal furniture and equipment. With our overhead conveyor line and batch ovens we are able to handle small to medium sized production runs with ease.
