The short answer

Powder coating for Cranston drivers and businesses

Cranston drivers can get wheel powder coating, curb rash repair, caliper coating and sandblasting at Ocean State Powder Coating in neighboring Warwick, RI, typically about 10 to 15 minutes away via I-95, I-295 or Route 2. Text a photo for a quote first.

Between commuter miles on Route 37 and I-295, shopping traffic around Garden City and Reservoir Avenue, and Rhode Island winters, Cranston wheels pick up brake dust, salt damage and curb rash fast.

Bring the wheels in with tires on. We strip, repair, coat, cure, remount and balance in the same shop.

Commuter wheels and brake dust

Many Cranston drivers spend their week on Route 37, I-295 and I-95. Highway miles plus stop-and-go traffic on Park Avenue, Reservoir Avenue and Cranston Street mean a lot of braking, and brake dust that bakes into the wheel finish.

Once the factory clear coat starts to fail, salt and moisture get under it and the wheel starts to bubble and peel. Powder coating starts from bare metal, so the new finish is not sitting on top of old corrosion.

Parking lots and curb rash

The busy lots around Garden City Center and the curbside parking in Knightsville, Edgewood and Pawtuxet Village are where a lot of curb rash happens. Most scraped lips can be repaired and refinished instead of replaced.

A new dealer wheel can easily cost several hundred dollars, so repairing and refinishing is usually the smarter move for cosmetic damage.

Projects beyond wheels

Cranston homeowners and contractors also bring us railings, gates, patio furniture and other metal pieces for blasting and powder coating. Text us a photo of the part with rough dimensions.

Since the shop is close, it is easy to drop off a batch and pick it up when it is ready.
