The cost of applying a durable, baked-on paint finish to vehicle wheels depends on several factors. These include wheel size and complexity, the chosen color and finish (e.g., metallic, matte, candy), the location of the service provider, and any necessary repairs or pre-treatments like sandblasting. A single wheel might range from $75 to $200 for a standard finish, while more complex finishes or larger wheels can significantly increase this price. Obtaining multiple quotes from reputable providers is recommended for accurate pricing.
This finishing technique offers superior durability compared to traditional wet paint, providing resistance to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion. This enhanced protection maintains the wheels’ appearance over time, contributing to the vehicle’s overall aesthetic and potentially its resale value. Initially developed for industrial applications, this process gained popularity in the automotive aftermarket due to its resilience and wide range of color options, becoming a preferred choice for enhancing and protecting wheel investments.
