The Detailed Wheel Repair Process for the Grandeur GN7
Our commitment to quality is evident in every step of the wheel restoration process. For the Hyundai Grandeur GN7 with its 19-inch cut-face wheels, we followed a precise procedure to rectify existing damage:
- Wheel Removal and Inspection: The wheels were carefully removed from the vehicle, and the tires and sensitive TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors were detached. A thorough inspection identified the extent of the damage, including scratches and scuffs, to plan the optimal repair strategy.
- Surface Preparation: Using a sandblaster, the entire wheel surface was meticulously cleaned and smoothed. This process removes old paint, contaminants, brake dust, and even minor imperfections, creating a perfect canvas for the new coating. All old wheel weights and adhesive residue were also removed.
- Primer Application: A high-quality primer (surfacing agent) was applied to enhance adhesion and ensure a smooth, even finish for the subsequent paint layers.
- Powder Coating: The wheels were then powder-coated in a gloss black finish. This advanced technique involves electrostatically applying powdered paint, which is then cured under high heat. Powder coating provides a thicker, more durable, and corrosion-resistant finish compared to traditional liquid painting, especially crucial for the intricate details of cut-face wheels.
- Precision Cutting and Finishing: For cut-face wheels like those on the Grandeur GN7, a specialized CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine is used to precisely re-cut the diamond-cut surface after painting. This step restores the sharp, reflective edges characteristic of the original design. Finally, a protective clear coat is applied to seal the finish and provide lasting protection against the elements.
The result is a wheel that not only looks brand new but also boasts enhanced durability. We also provide essential wheel care tips to help maintain this restored finish, ensuring your Grandeur GN7 continues to turn heads.
