Chrome Wheel Repair

Chrome wheels take a different kind of damage than painted alloys — pitting, peeling, and corrosion under the chrome layer instead of scuffs on top of a paint finish. It's a repair a lot of general wheel shops turn away because chrome-clad and PVD-chrome wheels need a different process than a standard refinish, but it's one of our specialties. We remove corrosion and pitting, repair the base layer underneath, and re-clad or re-chrome the finish rather than just polishing over damage that's going to come back.

Chrome finishes fail from the inside out — moisture gets under the plating at a chip or scratch, and corrosion spreads under the surface even when the top layer still looks mostly fine. That's why chrome repair almost always needs to address what's happening beneath the visible chrome, not just buff the outside.

We work on standard chrome, chrome-clad composite wheels, and PVD-chrome finishes — three different processes that need three different repair approaches, which is exactly why this is a dedicated specialty rather than an add-on to standard refinishing.
