Shadow Chrome Wheel Restoration in Perth

Specialist repairs that restore depth, shine, and mirror clarity to shadow chrome wheels.

Advanced Shadow Chrome Repair Using a Multi-Stage Process

Shadow chrome rims have a specialised “shadow” finish, created by layering black base paint under translucent chrome-effect paint for a dark, metallic sheen. The process requires skilled technicians due to precise colour matching across varying shades.

Preparation Steps

Wheels are inspected for damage like curb rash, gouges, or bends, then stripped of old finish using sanding or stripping to create a smooth surface. Tyres are removed for full access, and any structural issues are repaired.

Painting Process

A black base layer is applied first to damaged areas, followed by slowly “dusting” or misting translucent shadow chrome paint until it blends seamlessly with undamaged sections. This dusting technique builds the signature dark chrome effect layer by layer for accurate colour matching.

I highly recommend Rim Clinic for your wheel repairs,or if you're looking for a custom paint job for your wheels. The team at Rim Clinic were quick to respond after my initial enquiry, responded quickly with a quote and were able to fit my job in at short notice. Their quote was also considerably cheaper compared to another I received. The work conducted was top-notch. The repairs have the wheels looking brand new, and the custom paint work done came up magic. The work was completed much quicker than anticipated, too. Chris' pride in his work and attention to detail is to be commended. Thanks again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rim Repair in Perth

What does rim repair involve?

Rim repair involves a series of specialised techniques designed to restore damaged rims to their original condition. This can include repairing structural issues such as cracks, bends, and gouges, as well as cosmetic damage like scratches and scuff marks. Common rim repair services include CNC diamond cutting to restore a smooth, factory-finish surface, shadow chrome restoration to bring back the original gloss, and paint refinishing in custom colours. The process ensures your rims are not only functional but also visually appealing, helping to maintain both the aesthetics and safety of your wheels.

How does diamond cutting work?

Diamond cutting is a precise machining process that restores your wheels to a factory-finish, creating a smooth, polished surface. Using a CNC lathe, we remove a thin layer from the rim’s surface to eliminate imperfections, giving your rims a high-quality, reflective finish. This process is ideal for restoring the original appearance of alloy wheels.

Do you repair curb/gutter rash in Perth?

Yes, we specialise in repairing curb or gutter rash. Our team at Rim Clinic Perth can expertly restore your rims, removing scratches and scuffs, and returning them to a like-new condition. We offer both cosmetic touch-ups and full repairs to ensure your rims look their best.

How long does rim repair take?

The time required for rim repair depends on the type of damage and the specific repair process. Generally, repairs can take anywhere from 1-3 days. For more complex restoration work, such as shadow chrome or structural repairs, it may take a little longer. We always aim to complete your repairs promptly while ensuring the highest quality results.

Can I use photos to get a quote?

Yes, you can send us photos of the damage for an initial quote. While photos help us provide a rough estimate, we recommend visiting our Perth clinic for a more accurate assessment, especially for structural repairs or more complex issues. Our team will then provide a detailed, no-obligation quote based on the condition of your rims.
