Factory-fresh metal.
No paint.
Vapor honing blasts with water and fine media together, so it cleans aluminum without beating it up. Oil, corrosion, and baked-on grime come off and the metal comes back to a smooth satin finish. Drag the slider to compare.

What customers say
The job he did for me on the rims of my classic car turned out unbelievable. I knew from speaking to him initially that they were going to turn out great, but it truly exceeded my expectations when I seen the finished product. WOW is all I can say.
Did a great job bringing my wheels back to life they sparkle and shine and look great would definitely recommend quality service also fixed some curb rash on all of my wheels and properly prepped them so they can get coated right!
Ray powder coated the wheels on my Supra. Came out amazing. Reasonably priced and did it within the time window he gave me. I will definitely be bringing more stuff soon.
Responsive. Very polite. Punctual. I have no bad things to say about Ray an/or his work. Brought my wheels off my 05’ Yamaha R1 and man did he bring the wheels backs to life. Will be coming back for future projects
100% recommended. Great work at a great price. Took my order to powder coat 6 baseboard heaters covers for one of my properties. They were rough with atleast 6-7 coats of previous paint on them. Ray got it done quick and they turned out like new.
Had my car wheels coated by 48 Powder Coating and they turned out amazing! Great attention to detail, fast turnaround, and super professional service. Highly recommend!
