Is The Quality Of Professional Wheel Painting Affected By Cold Temperatures?

Living in a cold, mountainous area like the Wasatch Front and the Salt Lake Valley, your wheels can take a beating from road and weather conditions.

Painting your wheels is one way to shore up your defenses against the aggressive weather, and can also be a great option to perk up your ride.

The quality of wheel painting can be affected by cold temperatures because wheel paint typically requires a certain range of temperatures in order to cure properly.

If it’s too cold when the paint is applied, the paint may not dry or cure properly, which can result in a poor finish, such as a rough texture, wrinkles, or even bubbles in the paint. Cold temperatures can also result in longer drying time for the paint, which can also result in a less-than-stellar finish. It also makes the whole painting process more time-consuming.

In order to prevent these issues, Salt City Wheels expert wheel painters work in the custom-controlled environment of our mobile workshop, which is heated to a specific temperature range optimal for painting. This allows your wheels to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level as the paint is applied and dries, which ensures paint dries and cures correctly.

It’s vital to use professional paint and procedures, the right equipment, and to work in a clean, controlled environment to ensure the quality of your wheel’s new finish, regardless of the external temperature.
