West London Alloy Wheel Repair Centre

wheel-repair At our west London alloy wheel refurbishment centres, we take our repair work very seriously. We refurbish big name brands including Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Mercedes for both end consumers and for trade accounts including bodyshop repair centres and dealerships. Our dedication to quality alloy wheel repairs and refurbishments motivates us to go further and expand our business to ensure we offer the best service and quality finish for every client.

We inspect every wheel like we’re inspecting a diamond, which is reflected in our name. No matter if it’s Bentley or someone who’s just accidentally curbed the wheel of an everyday run-around, we treat everyone with equal amounts of respect and care.

Our goal is to be your local number one alloy wheel repair centre, and we believe the way we will continue to do this is by providing an alloy repair service that no other company in west London can match. We do this by not only using a professional and high-quality Diamond Cutting technique, but by offering this with a powder coat and a speedy turnaround.

diamond-cutting-alloys The Diamond Cut is a special cutting process which removes a thin layer of metal so the alloy can get back to its original look; it is extremely precise and cannot be done by hand.

At our alloy wheel refurbishment centre, we have highly trained and experienced technicians who administer high quality techniques like diamond cutting alloy wheels.

How does an Alloy Wheel get Powder Coated?

spray-paint-powder-coat If you are looking for the best finish for your alloy wheels, then we believe a powder coat is a must! It produces a smooth and even finish for the best results. It can also be combined with a diamond cut process. At Diamond Alloys we apply a powder coat finish to all our alloy wheel refurbishments keep our technology and working practices bang up to date by upgrading our machinery and training staff with new and improved techniques.

By using a powder coat machine, we can achieve shorten lead times, so that we can not only offer great looking refurbished alloys wheels but an even better service. The process offers a smoother finish and a quicker bake time, not surprising since the oven heats to an impressive 230℃!

The powder coat process:

• Degas the alloys at 230℃+ for a minimum of 15 minutes
• Turn the heat down to 200℃ – 210℃ as coating begins
• Prime the alloy wheel in the spray booth
• Bake the powder coated alloys for 5 – 10 minutes when last wheel goes back into oven
• Remove wheels once baking is complete and cool to 80℃
• Add the base coat to colour
• Flash off 5 – 10 minutes before putting back into oven
• Put back into oven for 10 – 15 minutes ready for clear coat
• Apply Clear coat
• Put last wheel back into oven and bake for 10 – 15 minutes
• Remove from oven and cool

If you want to get a great looking set of alloy wheels at a price that is cheaper than buying new, then we highly recommend a powder coat process.

If you are looking for an alloy wheel repair and refurbishment company in West London or Heathrow that specialises in Diamond Cutting alloy wheels, then Diamond Alloys is the place to go to.

We believe our Diamond Cutting technique is simply the best in the business! This advanced technique and the state-of-the-art machinery that we use at Diamond Alloys means precision cutting on the lathe can take place. A unique probe contours the edge of the alloy wheel and cleverly calculates the minimum amount required to be removed. This ensures a longer life for your alloy wheels because more cuts can be achieved over time.

Before cutting commences, the machine tracks the path calculated and then the laser precision cuts the alloys by taking a fraction of a millimetre (or as near as required) on each rotation to create the finished Diamond Cut. This is always closely monitored by our trained technicians to ensure a premium finish is achieved.

These pictures show the precision probe calculating the exact contours to be removed by the Diamond Cutting laser machine.
