Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How much does wheel repair & refinishing cost for Genesis G80?
This G80 sputtering wheel refinishing cost approximately ₩800,000-1,200,000 for all four wheels with 3-stage hyperblack powder coating. Pricing varies by damage severity, coating type (hyperblack, silver, custom), and local shop rates.
Q. How long does wheel refinishing last on Genesis G80?
Properly refinished sputtering wheels typically last 5-7 years with regular maintenance. Wash wheels monthly with pH-neutral soap and avoid harsh chemicals to extend coating durability.
Q. Is wheel refinishing worth it for Genesis G80?
Yes, especially for Genesis owners experiencing progressive sputtering peel—simple touch-up repairs won't prevent spreading damage. Complete refinishing restores aesthetics and resale value while being more cost-effective than wheel replacement.
Q. Why do Genesis G80 sputtering wheels peel?
Sputtering wheels use metal-plated coating that's thin and brittle; exposure to temperature, moisture, and road salt causes progressive cracking rather than localized damage. Unlike standard paint, once peeling begins, it spreads across the entire wheel surface.
Q. What's the difference between wheel repair and full refinishing?
Simple repair (touch-up) only addresses visible damage and won't prevent ongoing peel expansion on sputtering finishes. Full 3-stage powder coating removes damaged coating completely and applies new base, mid, and clear layers for permanent restoration.
Q. How long does Genesis G80 wheel refinishing take?
Active service time is 5-6 hours, but total turnaround including drying is 48 hours. This includes stripping old coating, three powder application stages, and full curing before vehicle return.
