Hyundai Grandeur IG 19-inch Wheel Restoration: A Deep Dive
Owners of the Hyundai Grandeur IG, are you concerned about damage to your 19-inch wheels? This review details the restoration process for a Grandeur IG that required all four wheels to be refurbished due to numerous scratches, likely from its previous owner. We'll guide you through what to look for during wheel repair and the results you can expect, focusing on the specific case of 19-inch Hyper Silver wheels.
Why Restore Your Grandeur IG's 19-inch Wheels?
The 19-inch wheels on the Grandeur IG are typically a 'Sputtering Hyper Silver' type. While these wheels are admired for their sophisticated gloss and color, their specialized manufacturing process makes them somewhat less durable. Scratches and peeling can occur over time or with minor impacts. This is especially common in used vehicles where wheel condition can vary significantly. Damaged wheels not only detract from the vehicle's overall aesthetic but can also impact driving safety in severe cases, necessitating professional repair.
The 19-inch Hyper Silver Wheel Repair Process
The service involves precisely diagnosing the damage after removing the wheels from the vehicle. This includes checking for bends or cracks. Any contaminants or old paint are removed through degreasing and sanding to create a smooth surface for the new coating. During the repair, a loaner wheel set is provided free of charge for your convenience.
How it works:
- Surface Preparation: Thorough cleaning, degreasing, and sanding to remove imperfections and old coatings.
- Primer Application: Application of a specialized 'Powder Black Primer' for optimal adhesion.
- Hyper Silver Coating: Application of the Hyper Silver paint to achieve the desired color and finish.
- Clear Coat Finish: Application of a 'Powder Gloss Clear Coat' for durability and protection.
The core of the restoration involves applying a 'Powder Black Primer,' followed by 'Hyper Silver Painting,' and finally a 'Powder Gloss Clear Coat' finish. While the exact process may differ slightly from OEM methods, the goal is to achieve over 95% color and gloss match to the original wheels using high-quality materials. For the average customer, distinguishing a professionally restored wheel from a new one is extremely difficult. Furthermore, the powder coating method used offers superior durability compared to standard paint jobs, preventing the coating from peeling easily.
Achieving a Near-Perfect Color Match
Yes, achieving a color match of over 95% to the original is possible. By using a specific sequence of Powder Black Primer, Hyper Silver paint, and Powder Gloss Clear Coat with premium materials, we ensure the restored wheels closely match the original hue and reflectivity. This is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's premium appearance, especially with Sputtering wheels where color discrepancies are easily noticeable. Minimizing these differences leads to high customer satisfaction.
Post-Repair Care and Warranty
After restoration, the wheels often appear even more lustrous and high-quality than before. We offer a free A/S (after-sales service) for natural paint peeling. The longevity of the wheel repair depends on maintenance. Avoid direct high-pressure water spray on the wheels during washing, and use gentle cleaning methods.
