OUR CHROMING PROCESS

The chrome plating process for aluminum alloy wheels is a complex and time-consuming procedure. Here are key steps involved in handling, documenting, chrome plating, and either shipping or installing automotive wheels. Proprietary operations, specific to each wheel's final design, further enhance the overall process. Each wheel undergoes meticulous attention to detail throughout the entire reception and processing phases.

OUR CHROME PLATING PROCESS

Our Wheel Powder Coating Process

Professional Results Start With Professional Preparation

Step 1: Initial Inspection & Documentation

Every wheel that enters our facility undergoes a detailed inspection.

Our technicians carefully examine each wheel for:

  • Existing damage

  • Corrosion

  • Surface imperfections

  • Structural concerns

  • Previous repairs

We document the wheel's condition before any work begins to ensure complete quality control throughout the process.

Step 2: Cleaning & Surface Preparation

A flawless chrome finish starts with proper preparation.

Before plating can begin, the wheel must be thoroughly cleaned and stripped of contaminants, old coatings, corrosion, and surface imperfections.

This stage is critical because chrome plating will highlight imperfections rather than hide them.

The cleaner and smoother the surface, the better the final result.

Step 3: Repair & Restoration

If needed, damaged areas are addressed before plating.

Depending on the wheel's condition, this may include:

  • Wheel straightening

  • Crack repair

  • Surface restoration

  • Minor refinishing work

This helps ensure the wheel is both visually appealing and structurally sound before moving forward.

Step 4: Surface Refinement

Once repairs are complete, the wheel is carefully prepared to achieve the smoothest possible finish.

This process helps create the foundation required for high-quality chrome plating and contributes significantly to the final appearance.

Attention to detail during this stage directly impacts the brilliance and clarity of the finished chrome surface.

Step 5: Chrome Plating Application

This is where the transformation happens.

Using specialized plating processes, multiple layers are applied to create the bright, reflective finish chrome is known for.

The result is a durable, corrosion-resistant surface with exceptional shine and visual depth.

Our plating process is designed to produce a premium finish suitable for luxury vehicles, classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and custom builds.

Step 6: Final Inspection & Quality Control

Every wheel undergoes a final quality inspection before being approved for installation or shipment.

We carefully evaluate:

  • Surface quality

  • Finish consistency

  • Overall appearance

  • Structural condition

  • Final detailing

Only after passing our quality standards is the wheel released to the customer.
