Diamond Cut Rim Alloy Repair Massive Chunk Missing

Can this even be repaired? Well 3 Diamond cut repair companies said no! as it was too deep... the wheel was a write off. I decided to have a go to save the wheel and return the car to lease company with no penalties!

When I saw the filler I thought he'll never make it match the rest of the wheel especially because its diamond cut, nearly choked on my coffee when you did. You are seriously talented and you're only using regular everyday equipment. Whatching your content is a pleasure, thankyou.

[@cvrpov]

Thanks for the sub and glad you enjoy my content. Plenty more coming

[@executiveinvestments]

you can tell that part of the wheel is dull and not shinny like the rest.

When your mixing lacquer on the job do you do a hot mix when you mix the lacquer so it goes off quicker

[@denisconor648]

Great stuff.

[@cvrpov]

Thanks Denis

[@richardhaywoodh]

Great end result. Replicating Diamond Cut finish is difficult. Perhaps use some playing cards to protect the tyre when sanding with power tools so rubber is not scuffed?

[@cvrpov]

Yeah good tip I have done this myself

[@Ivzu]

Excellent work, like brand new. Do you know if it's possible to fill in the stone chip on the diamond cut rim if it only slightly dented the clear coat and then sand it down to level and polish? What clear coat do you use?

[@cvrpov]

any 2k clear will be find and yes that should be possible

[@mrigankhsaluja7776]

Hi I noticed a similar damage on my alloy and was really sad until I saw your video giving me hope that it can be repaired. Well done 👍🏻 Just a quick question, will the wheel require balancing after repair since we are sanding and that may change the weight distribution.

[@cvrpov]

I would get wheel rebalanced anyway. Even the kerb damage can effect it

[@Matin_M]

I have a set of midir wheels that I want to have a go at repairing DIY. They're a similar, machined finish on the edges. What type of paint did you use or would you recommend using to get the closest match?

Outstanding.

Ford moondust is normally pretty close. Maybe needed Blending a little further out to take ur eye off of it

[@TheAcheterre]

Thanks for your answer.. which one do you recommend.?

[@paulorme3208]

Hiya mate. Great finish btw. I’m a smart repairer of 17 yrs.. I take it you used solvent paint as you used wire wool to create the diamond cut marks ?? Also what did you use before the panel wipe on the tyre to get the dressing off. The tape stuck to it well considering it had dressing all over it. Cheers Paul.

[@cvrpov]

Thinners on the tyre mate.. nothing works better. Solvent paint scheme yes

[@EsiJet]

Hi ، thanks for the video, top job finish, just wondering if 9006 any good for this type of alloys? Cheers

[@cvrpov]

Not sure what that is

[@EsiJet]

RAL 9006 is colour code mate!

[@ROCKY44]

I've never used a paint gun like that, but it looks like you had it set to release only a tiny amount of paint as I could not see it going on, or even any overspray...?
