Wheels are the first thing people notice on a car. Salt, sand, kerbs and brake dust on Baku roads quickly spoil their look. Here is when to repaint your wheels, how the work is done and what it costs.
5 signs your wheels need painting
- The lacquer is bubbling or peeling – corrosion has started underneath.
- Kerb scratches and "chewed" edges.
- Faded colour, stains, brake dust that will not wash off.
- You want a new look for the car (for example, gloss black).
- You are preparing the car for sale – fresh wheels noticeably improve its look and price.
How is the painting done?
The wheels are removed, stripped of the old coating, and scratches and small damage are repaired. The surface is then degreased, primer and the chosen colour are applied, followed by a protective lacquer. After drying, the tyres are refitted and the wheels balanced.
Without proper preparation paint peels off within months – which is why preparation is the main part of the job.
Which colours can I choose?
The most popular are gloss black, matte black, silver and graphite. You can also match the body colour or pick a contrasting one. Just note the colour when booking online.

How to care for painted wheels
- For the first 1–2 days do not use a pressure washer close to the wheels.
- Avoid acidic and aggressive wheel cleaners.
- Wash off brake dust often – it damages the lacquer.
- Park carefully near kerbs.
