Wheels and roads in George
George is the main service town on the Garden Route, set between the Outeniqua Mountains and the sea on the N2. The Outeniqua Pass carries trucks and holiday traffic over the mountains to Oudtshoorn and the Karoo, and its long descents heat brakes and wear tyres. Forestry trucks, farm bakkies and caravans add to the mix, while gravel passes and farm roads around Wilderness and Blanco cut sidewalls. The town has an airport, a growing retirement and holiday population, and many SUVs and double cabs. Tyre shops, wheel repairers and alignment centres are in George Industria and along York Street. Rain can fall in any season, so wet roads and potholes are a year-round concern.
Typical powder coating and rim painting requests in the area come from:
- Private car owners: a colour change to gloss black or gunmetal for a fresh look
- Enthusiasts, 4x4 and performance drivers: bronze or satin black wheels on an overlander or modified car
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: truck and bus steel rims coated against rust and road grime
