best way to spray alloys is to deflate the tyre, Break the bead, not remove the tyre

paint the alloy, let dry [ depends on hardner used and drying facilities ]

then after elapsed time, put air back into tyres.

this way saves the machinery from being used and prevents scratching fresh paint

agreed, why cut corners when powdercoating runs circles round spraying

last longer, harder wearing etc etc ......

common sense and general public

if they are non the wiser to paint application, you may assume paint is hardened if its dry to touch, and a good tyre fitter can apply tyres to alloys without marking them.

powder coating - apparently this can weaken the alloy structure causing unseen damage

Not sure if i read that on here or if its myth

i know exactly why the wheel was scratxched...

The tyre machine used will have been to close the the wheel, regardless of the paint being dry or not it will have scratched your rimm all the way round in a perfect circle.

Always ask if you can stand next tothem if they are throwing a tire on your rim, That way they will make sure they do it right.

Grow up idiot. How the hell am I supposed to know when wheels are dry the guy gave me the wheels back so basically he should not have done that if he though they would scratch. Dont bother replying in my topic if u aint got anything nice to say.
