Alloy Wheel Repairs

Refresh Your Alloy Wheels

At KARMAN, we can remove curb damage on alloy wheels. After removing any damage, we etch primer to help prevent corrosion, spray your wheels with a coat of your chosen colour and then finish with a matt, satin or gloss lacquer.If you prefer them in gloss black, we use a strong 2K finish.

We now also offer a range of alloy wheel protectors that fit between the alloy wheel and tyre, helping protect both.

Wheel refurbishment

From one wheel to a full set

Wheels play a huge part in how your vehicle looks, and tatty or curbed rims can really let the car down — even affecting its value. At KARMAN, we can help whether your wheels need a quick revival before selling, returning the car to the dealer, or you simply want your vehicle looking its best. We can keep them in their original colour or completely change the colour for a full vehicle makeover.

From individual wheels to complete sets

We can repair just the edge of diamond‑cut wheels, or fully refurbish single‑colour wheels depending on what your car needs.

SAME DAY RETURN SERVICE

We can get your car back to you the same say.

Colour Change

If you want a colour change, we can refurbish and paint your wheels in a range of colours. This includes painting diamond‑cut wheels in a single solid colour, which removes the diamond‑cut effect but gives much better long‑term durability.

MAKE YOUR CAR STAND OUT

We can get your car back to you the same say.

Brake Caliper Painting

We can paint your brake calipers in any colour, giving your car a sportier, more personalised look. Red remains the most popular choice for a clean, performance‑style finish.

WITH THE WHEELS ALREADY OFF

It’s the perfect time to give your calipers a fresh coat of paint — a great add‑on that can still be completed within the day.

Alloy Wheel Repair Questions & Answers

Can you repair diamond cut wheels?

Yes, we can repair kerb damage on alloy wheels. For diamond‑cut finishes, the traditional method is to put the wheel on a lathe, but that isn’t always necessary for light to moderate edge damage. We carefully remove the affected area and use an in‑house technique involving a specialist adhesion promoter, a custom‑mixed paint blend and a precise rectification process.

If you look closely after the repair, you may notice a slight difference, but this method has been used on hundreds of wheels we’ve returned to dealers and lease companies without any issues. It’s a highly effective, cost‑saving solution for everyday kerb damage.

Normally we can get your wheels comleted in one day, if the weather is cold and you would like black i may suggest leaving the car with me over night. 

Yes, you can choose any colour you like for your wheels. If the colour requires a special mixed paint, there will be a small surcharge to cover the additional materials and mixing process.

No, we do not powder‑coat wheels. Instead, we remove the damage and any light corrosion, then apply a high‑quality basecoat followed by a durable lacquer for a smooth, factory‑style finish.

If you choose a non‑metallic colour such as black, we use a specialist high‑gloss formula where the colour and lacquer are combined into one. This creates an extra‑tough, highly durable finish that looks absolutely stunning.

Yes, we can paint your brake calipers in any colour you choose, with red being the most popular option. While the wheels are off for painting or refurbishment, adding a fresh red caliper can really enhance the look of the car and give it a sportier, more stylish finish.
