Powder Coated Wheels of Fortune

For even the most efficient automotive body shops, repairing damaged wheels can be a painstaking shuffle involving inconsistent quality from subcontractors, uncertain turnaround times for customers, and sometimes no good answers for antsy insurance companies who want claims off their books. Powder coating equipment is not prevalent at U.S. body shops, forcing most to rely on subcontractors to repair damaged wheels, at the cost of jobs being delayed and quality potentially being sacrificed. Not to mention the added expense of outsourcing that chips away at a shop’s profit margins. It has become a frustratingly routine predicament for the shops that pride themselves on the highest-quality repairs and the fastest turnaround times.

Yet, after years of headaches and reduced profit margins over outsourcing, many body shops are concluding that bringing powder coating in-house makes the most operational and financial sense. In this FREE guide, discover how in-house powder coating can produce shortened lead times on repairs of damaged wheels, increased profitability and improved quality — without the expense of additional labor.
