What is wheel refinish?

A full refinish of a wheel, from stripping and repairing to a fresh coat in the colour you choose.

A wheel refinish restores the whole wheel rather than one damaged spot. The tyre is removed, the wheel stripped back, corrosion and damage repaired, then the wheel is primed and painted or powder coated. It is also the way to change wheel colour.

Signs you need it

  • Peeling or bubbling paint
  • Corrosion across the wheel
  • Multiple areas of damage
  • You want a new colour

How it works

  1. Remove tyre
  2. Strip existing finish
  3. Repair corrosion and damage
  4. Prime and paint or powder coat
  5. Cure and inspect
  6. Refit tyre and balance

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Wheel size and number
  • Finish chosen
  • Repair work needed

Tips

  • Ask about powder coat versus wet paint durability
  • Plan for the car to be off the road, or use spare wheels

Why it matters

Cosmetic and protective; it can make an older car look much newer.
