SKRAPES®, we understand the importance of maintaining your wheels in top condition, and we offer a comprehensive wheel repair service that will restore them to their former glory, right here in Fort Worth, Texas.

This guide delves into the SKRAPES® approach to wheel repair in Fort Worth Texas, a meticulous process designed to breathe new life into your damaged rims. We'll explore each step in detail, showcasing the dedication and expertise that goes into every wheel we restore.

Preparing the wheel Canvas: A Clean Start 

The foundation of any restoration project is a thorough cleaning. Just like a painter prepares a canvas before applying a masterpiece, our technicians begin by meticulously cleaning both the outer surface of the tire and the front face of the rim. This multi-step process removes dirt, brake dust, road grime, and any other contaminants that may have accumulated. A clean surface not only allows for a more precise assessment of the damage but also ensures a flawless finish when the restoration is complete.

Our cleaning process is meticulous, utilizing specialized tools and cleaning solutions designed specifically for wheels and tires. We take care to avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber of the tires or the delicate finish of the rims. This ensures a safe and effective clean that prepares the wheel for the next stage of the restoration.

The Art of Wheel Refinishing: Restoring the Shine in Fort Worth Tx

Now comes the transformation. This is where the artistry of our experienced technicians truly shines. Metal refinishing involves meticulously removing the imperfections that have marred your wheels. Scratches, scrapes, and even minor chips are carefully addressed, one by one. This stage requires patience and a skilled hand, as it is crucial to restore the original form and contour of the rim without damaging the surrounding metal.

SKRAPES®, we take a strong stance against the use of fillers or putties. These quick fixes can compromise the structural integrity of the wheel and may lead to future problems. Instead, our technicians employ a multi-step sanding process, using progressively finer grits to meticulously smooth out the imperfections. This meticulous approach ensures a long-lasting, high-quality finish.

For deeper gouges or more extensive damage, specialized techniques may be employed. This is performed by our highly skilled technicians. These advanced techniques allow us to address even the most significant damage, ensuring a complete and lasting restoration.

The Perfect Touch: A Durable and Dazzling Finish 

Once the metal has been refinished to a flawless state, it's time to apply the finishing touch. This involves carefully blending a professional-grade paint to match the original color of your wheels (OE paint). Achieving a perfect color match is an art form in itself, and our technicians have a keen eye for detail. They will meticulously blend and apply the paint to ensure a seamless transition from the restored area to the original finish.

But a beautiful color is only half the story. SKRAPES® Exclusive Service, we prioritize both aesthetics and durability. This is why we apply a thick, high-gloss clear coat over the paint. This clear coat acts as a protective barrier, shielding the newly restored finish from the elements and everyday wear and tear. It also creates a stunning, high-shine finish that adds a touch of elegance to your vehicle.

The clear coat we use is specifically formulated for automotive applications and offers exceptional UV protection. This ensures that your wheels will maintain their vibrant color and glossy sheen for years to come.
