I did similar on a Renault clio with diamond cut, used a black and decker mouse to remove old lacquer on diamond cut surface, scuff marks and original diamondd cut that remained. Polished with solvol autosol and then gave it a number of coats of clear lacquer, from home bargains as well. My black paint was OK. Can't sya how, long it will last as a few months after doing it my car hit a rock and smashed the auto gearbox and was written off.

Looks great guys. If you really want it to last, use a 2k clear. Spraymax in a can is an example.

Hi Mate Why did not use finer sand paiper Like 500-1000 grid ? Thanks

I believe it's because they want to get like a diamond cut look

You must put a good thick coat of laquer to stop the water getting through and causing white marks, every wheel refurbisher doesn't use enough laquer

Very true, this is a DIY budget job but when i do it on the retail cars i load up the laquer

Does lacquering the matte paint make it glossy?

Yes mate

Thanks! I'm going to try this soon, I use that exact same paint for refurbishing push bikes, didn't think it'd be high enough quality for something like this but yours looks very good 👌

That’s just given me the motivation and idea to do mine and save £200 spot on well done 👍

Great video 😄 going to do this on my original wheels, then do the ones I've currently got on the car. Both sets are diamond cut, and both sets have oxidised under the laquer, i just wasnt sure how agressive to go with the grit, was planning on going up to 1200 - thanks for being clear with everything guys!😂

Removing paint is not the same as diamond cutting…

We kn ow mate its just a budget fix that people can do at home.

And yet the end result looks extremely close to diamond cut wheels. You know that it's just passing a diamond carbide insert in a lathe over the relevant areas yes? What the chaps have done here is incredibly good especially given the budget.
