THE DIY POWDER COATING

You can get a day pass for £40 or a month pass for £70 and use the facilities as much as you like. Book a FREE workshop tour here to get started. 

We offer trade prices on powder paint. Each bag costs only £6 and it's more than enough to powder coat a wheel.

If you need to use the acid bath to strip your object you might have to pay for the consumables, which is roughly £10 per wheel. Other than that and the powder, everything else is included in your pass. 

We have a vending machine with many colours to choose from. Each bag costs only £6 and it's more than enough to powder coat a wheel.

Then it's time for you to learn - at THE-MACHINE-SHOP we are all about teaching skills and helping people out with their DIY projects. We'll happily show you everything you need to know and we'll try to answer all you questions.

THE-MACHINE-SHOP is a DIY workshop. We encourage people to learn new skills and we are very happy to help them along the way.

It all depends on the condition of the wheels. If you have some nicely powdered steel wheels you can powder on top of the original coating in about 10 minutes each. However,  if you have some knackered old alloys that need stripping, they might need to go into an acid bath, get sand blasted, degassed and baked before they are powder coated again. 

The best thing is to get in touch, show us some pictures of your wheels and we will advice individually. 

Our Paint-Shop area is very well equipped with everything you need from stripping and prepping your object to powder coating it.
