Martinez Tire & Auto Center offers powder coating for wheels and metal parts at our O'Connor Rd shop in San Antonio. Powder coat is a baked on finish that holds up to heat, road grime, and brake dust better than most paint, and it comes in far more colors than a factory finish.

Powder Coating
Powder coating is a dry powder applied to bare metal and cured with heat. The result is a hard, even finish that bonds to the part rather than sitting on top like spray paint. In South Texas heat, with long sunny summers and plenty of brake dust, that durability matters.
People bring us powder coating jobs for a few reasons:
- A new color for a set of wheels, from gloss black to bronze to something louder
- Restoring wheels whose original finish is peeling or oxidized
- Matching wheels to trim, bumpers, or other truck accessories
- Protecting brackets, steps, and other metal parts from rust
How the process works
Good powder coat starts with prep. The part has to be stripped to clean metal before any powder goes on, because the finish is only as good as the surface under it. On wheels, the tire comes off first, and any bends or cracks get fixed before coating. That is why powder coating pairs well with our wheel repair and wheel welding work.
Turnaround depends on how many parts you bring and the color you pick. Call and we will give you a realistic timeline before you drop anything off.
Where to get it done
Powder coating is handled at 12040 O'Connor Rd on the Northeast side. If you only need curb rash fixed and want to keep your current color, wheel refinishing may be the simpler route.
Questions we hear
Is powder coating better than paint?
For wheels and metal parts, it is usually more durable. It resists chips, heat, and chemicals better than typical spray paint, and it goes on thicker and more evenly.
Can you powder coat just one wheel?
Yes, though matching an existing finish exactly is harder than doing the full set. Most people coat all four for an even look.
What colors can I choose?
Powder comes in a wide range of colors and finishes, including gloss, satin, and matte. Call and ask what is available for your project.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the vehicle and what the inspection finds, so we do not post prices online. Call us for a quote, and we will explain the options before any work starts.
