Just because you are one of the oldest established motorcycle parts manufacturers in the world (established in 1897) doesn't mean that you can't also be on the cutting edge of manufacturing technology and materials science.
At EICMA, internationally respected British manufacturer Central Wheel Components unveiled their latest wheel colour schemes, using the revolutionary Cerakote paint technology.
Cerakote (Oregon, USA) have chosen CWC as a partner to develop paint creations on their spoked wheels, with 27 colours available to choose from. Central Wheel Components had two complete wheels on display, along with 16 Cerakote colour options on wheel rim swatches.
Cerakote is an ultra-thin, hard wearing ceramic-based paint system derived from the firearms industry. It provides a much thinner layer of paint compared to traditional powder-coat and is a much quicker and easy way of coating over anodised finishes without the risk of mis-matches due to differing metal grading.
Managing Director Warren Harding says: "We are delighted to be partnering with Cerakote on this new wheel finishing venture. It gives us another advantage when offering customers a unique colour scheme creation. We can do solid colours and two-tone paint on the same wheel to really open up the options for riders. We will add more colours to the range as they come online, and the possibilities for mixing colours are endless."
"Cerakote can also be used on engine parts, frames and even on plastics, so the options of custom coloured bikes for customers' own creations becomes a possibility."
