The importance of painting

Marvic offers his wheels in many colours: from pastel shades to chrome finish. The painting is very important for magnesium products, because it is fundamental for aesthetics, for protection against the weather and other aggressive substances. Until the wheels maintain intact the painting, there are not corrosion problems, so we always recommend the powder paints, because they are much resistant than other paints. Naturally the magnesium protection is guaranteed also by a special treatment against corrosion. Thanks to this double protection we can guarantee our wheels for two years from the sales date. Warranty is not valid if the paint has been removed (by blasting or chemical bath).

 

Cleaning

Each Marvic wheel, both in aluminium and magnesium, before painting, is treated with special products against the corrosion. We recommend to clean and wash our wheels only with alcohol free and non-aggressive detergent in order to avoid damages to the paint and to the alloy.
