16 POWDER COATING, March 2016 A u t o m o t i v e Wheelkraft NW is a job shop that focuses on fixing wheels — scratches, scrapes, nicks, dings, and bends. You name it; they'll fix it. They remanufacture wheels for dealerships and body shops in the Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash., areas. "We started as a mobile wheel repair company 15 years ago and made the tran- sition to full restoration shop repair and powder coat facility about 2.5 years ago," says Pat Heffron. "We love the challenge of making factory OEM wheels some- thing more personal to the vehicle owner." Wheelkraft's powder coating service for rims and wheels gives you exactly what you need for your custom paint job. If you need your wheels to match your fresh paint or body wrap, a round of powder coating is the answer. The company's system is specially designed for coating metal and wheels, so you can expect your newly retouched wheels to keep up with your sleek ride. Plus, when your car gets a little wear and tear, technicians can use their effective color matching solution to fill in the problem spots and restore your wheels. They can also match that perfect shade you have picked out and pinpoint the right color scheme for your ride. If you want to take your wheels to the next level, powder coating is the solution.
