Compared to some smart repairers, why does Lepsons process take slightly longer, and what sort of guarantee will I get?
Lepsons operate out of factories totalling 17,000 sq/ft with equipment set up to replicate OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) often involving the exact same paints and processes used, however unlike OEM manufacturers we have to remove the old paint finish. Lepsons chemically strip rather than shot blast the old paint off to avoid weakening the wheel and as often happens with shot blast stripping rounding off spoke edges and profiles. The stripping chemicals and process are specially for alloy wheels to avoid alloy degradation. After stripping the wheels are checked for defects and repaired before going through a pre-treatment and typically 3 coat paint system to replicate their original coating. This all takes time however the resultant finish not only looks good but equally importantly it lasts which is why we can offer a free 12 month warranty on all fully painted wheels.
