I'd love a ds5.... nice job!
Thanks for the video I’ve had one diamond cut already but now I’m going to have a go myself seeing this thanks again 👍👍
Other guys lacquer them but no need to do it then
corners were cut severely imo, think id rather do them myself its all in the prep anyway
Could you tell me what primer you use please mate?
Can you let the alloy polished without clear coat ? Will it get corroded if you don't ? Or is this just for looks ?
Has to be clear coated or will corrode
Nothing near perfect but still a nice job…👍🏼
What is the cost of this?
this is not the proper way to refurbish diamond cut wheels, you need a diamond cutting lathe to achieve that OEM polished face finish.
You obviously have no idea what inverted commas are used for you Dope
But in a van it’s a decent effort 😊
I always find comments like this weird. They’re not claiming it’s the same. It’s a different method that is significantly cheaper with similar result.
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🙄🙄🙄
Ur a tool.😂
diamond cut is definitely not polished.
What tyres are you using? I’ve got 18” under my 1A but with winter tyres on it and it little looks a bit ugly :)
what aoubot the inside of the wheel
What lacquer are you using?
Always good to see a pro at work
عمل رائع يشرفني اني اكون تلميذ حضرتك وتحاتي لك من مصر
useful video but with one major flaw - you left the dust cap off the Tyre valve for the whole process, which is a pretty dusty process ! not good for the valve unfortunately
Wow...That alloy is never going to be balanced again lol, you just randomly grinded off area's
No need to sand primer?
Primer is only sanded if there is a defect. Assuming the surface was perfect and primer was laid evenly, no sanding is required.
Can one do this with a orbital sander?
do you need to worry about any clear coat on the wheel?
For bare aluminium you need DTM (direct to metal) clear coat. Otherwise any different one will peel off after a year or two
You can use use none DTM clear coat if you use adhesive promoter before
1:02 you might have done the job on wheel but definitely not on the car. How come lay the wheel on car body🤷🏻♂️ I will not think this would be professional.
On your recommendation i bought one. Within 5 days had 3 customers .. already paid for itself and it works. Always avoided buying a kit as never cone across one that works😮
Same here, every other kit I have was terrible. Mines still going strong after 3 years. (Remember to warm the sockets 😀).
onbalance
I just bought a Citroen C3 MKII with these wheels, and they are a mess. Loads of curb rash and failed clear coat. I've watched a good few of your videos, so I feel confident having a go.
If you do not explain the prosses why make the vidio
poor job, only scuffed half the wheel, didn`t take valves out, no proper degreasing/ silicone removal, not enough drying between layers of paint
grinding half the lip away is not fixing
How else are you supposed to do it when it’s a bare finish? 😂 if they were re diamond cut they would have the face re cut until they were smooth again. Different tool. Same outcome
colour code plz.
bmw 3-series dravit grey metallic (c36) 👍
Good job 👍🏻
You should come back to TH-cam, binge watched all your vids
Wheel looked great in the end but what paper did you use for sanding.
helloooo. I go 180, 320, 400. Then red scotch brite on a block.
What primer did u use as u didn’t sand it after applied?
Bodger
How long do you leave your lamps on before spraying ? And also what pressure do you have your gun on?
Hi mate what pressure do you have your gun?
Enjoyed this. Its given me confidence to do this lol
Professional diamond cut? 🤣🤣damn that's bad
You know what you’re doing. But where do you think that fine aluminum dust from all that grinding is going? I can see the cloud in the video and I didn’t see any eye protection or mask on your head. I’ve been doing paint rims you name for 50 years. I like it. But it. I’ve also known guys that were in a hurry,I got downdraft I’m outside I’m an idiot and they all have one thing in common. They don’t have to care anymore. Get you some quality goggles that fit over a particulate respirator when you’re grinding that aluminum,pal. Or not,but you don’t want to know what that fine aluminim dust does to your lungs and eyes after awhile.
And don’t forget the debris from your grinding wheels and sandpaper
I have done this before on my MC40 and a Infinti G35 but have not tried to do it on my Porsche Macan because no one has the exact paint code for the wheels, my have to go to the dealer.
great job, looks perfect. I have a one question, I did is the same way, but when spayed the lacquer, the wheel became darcker, can you give me advice?
🥴
What mini gun is that?
I am about to to the same to my rims! Does it need the clear coat?
Great explanation very helpful 😂
ciao amico, puoi aiutarmi ......... Quale trasparente usi, non è necessario applicare il primer sull'alluminio puro? Il trasparente 2K aderisce bene? grazie per la risposta
Ciao come stai, generalmente le ruote diamantate non usano primer dopo il rivestimento di base, quindi applico solo 2k di costi trasparenti e balle a 70 gradi per 30 minuti.
@@TheAlpins Thank you for your answer, so you say to give the 2k clear coat directly on the pure aluminum, it does not peel over time, I thought I would first give TALKEN 9041 clear primer product (only on the bare aluminum parts) and then the 2k .. ............what do you think about it ?
What’s there on that grinder?
How long did each wheel take?
I have the same wheels, but the damage is only on the lip, and I want to keep the original machined/satin finish. Is a clear coat or any type of coating necessary after sanding and polishing the machined surface?
I'm in the same boat as you.
Hiya Kris, I find clear coating the whole wheel is the best way. It keeps the grey intact while Protecting the bare alloy lip. Sand the lip with 120, 180, 320, 400 disks. Use grey scotch brite to polish/brush the lip and key the grey. Wash it all off with soapy water. When dry, hit it with 2 coats of clear. Ideally 2k though a gun (1.0tip hvlp is my preferred). If spray can, it’s usually only single pac clear so not very durable but you can buy 2k in a tin (activates via push button on the base). Hope this helps. 🥷
@@thewheelguy9496 Thank you
@@thewheelguy9496 Is the grey scotch brite the 7448? There are a couple different ones.
