Painted Audi A3 Alloy Wheel Reapir

Audi-alloy-wheel-repairWhatever make or model of car you have, if you have alloy wheels they will at some point sustain a scratch or scrape. Even if you are an expert at parking, the unexpected stone chip can do damage that can be easily repaired rather than a costly replacement.

Diamond Alloys is both a powder coat specialised and a diamond cut repair centre. All works are carried out on site ensuring a speedy turnaround and guaranteed quality finish.

Take a look at these Audi A3 rims which just came in with just kerb damage around the edges of the alloy. Our skilled technicians stripped them in a chemical bath before sand blasting them. They were then prepped and powder coated for a smooth finish before the final layer of lacquer for protection.

If your rims need a bit of love and attention, then pop down to Diamond Alloys West London; we are just off the A40 at Target Roundabout, and we will give you some good advice and a great quote!

All rims are stripped back in acid before a thorough clean in our aqublast machine. The rims are then carefully prepped before the powdercoat is applied. After the colour is applied or the Diamond Cut is made the rims receive a layer of protective lacquer to ensure they have a long life looking in tip top condition.

All Wheels Get a ‘Club Class’ Treatment at Diamond Alloys

IMG_6286Trade Account Club Class Carriages brought us their customers Bentley GT 19” alloys for a standard painted refurbishment.

They are a new trade account for Diamond Alloys and we are delighted they have selected us to look after this Bentley which is a new addition for their fleet.

The car is almost brand new, however because they are a specialist high end chauffeur company their cars must be pristine at all times and so when a small scuff is sustained a refurbishment is called for.

We don’t take short cuts on our wheel repairs and so these alloys were dipped at the start of the process ensuring all dirt, damage and break dust was removed.

We are delighted that the job was well received and this new trade customer will be sending over the rest of his fleet when repairs are required. Check out our gallery above and see how we transformed the scuffed alloys to a beautiful finish any customer would be delighted to receive.

audi-a1-before-alloy-wheelYou don’t have to wait for your alloy wheels to be scuffed or damaged to get a refurbishment carried out. Many of our customers simply want to spruce up their car by applying a new paint colour to the alloys, which is a relatively cheap way of changing the appearance of your car.

Take a look at these wheels which came into Diamond Alloys via one of our big trade accounts. Their customer simply wanted to change the whole look of their vehicle and had decided that going for gloss black was the best way to achieve this. By outsourcing the job to a specialist alloy wheel repair company like Diamond Alloys meant that not only could a great finish be achieved, but also a speedy service, which is why so many body shop repair centres and garages use our services.

audi-a1-after-alloy-wheelThe process started with our guys stripping the wheel back to the aluminium base. As the car was virtually brand new there was not a great deal of damage so our prep guys only had to repair minor damage before the wheels were primed.

For a smooth surface we always powder coat the alloys before adding a final lacquered layer which gave the wheels a fantastic painted gloss black finish.

Our client Grimshaws told us their customer was very happy and the finish exceeded their expectations, which is always satisfying to hear.

Diamond Alloys Standard Refurbishment Service

custom_alloy_wheel_refurbishmentAnnoyingly, it’s all too easy to damage your wheels. Whether you’re driving along or trying to park, chips and scratches can seem to just magically happen to your alloys, no matter how careful a driver you are.

When it happens to you, don’t despair: the good news is that you don’t have to go to the expense of buying new wheels. A professional refurbishment can have your alloys looking brand new, without leaving a corresponding dent in your wallet.

Our technicians are on hand to advise you as to the best options for your wheels, and it’s worth remembering that you don’t necessarily have to replicate your old look – why not try a new colour or finish to spruce up the aesthetic of your whole car? Whatever option you choose, we guarantee a stunning result.

The process itself is quick, meaning that you won’t lose out on valuable driving time, and all our work comes with a full 12 month wheel refurbishment warranty.

To achieve best results, our process begins with an acid bath, which strips the wheels down to the bare metal.

steveTo ensure that a full clean is achieved, we then use an AquaBlast machine to remove any residual material. After this, we use three coats of different paints to create a high quality durable finish for the alloys, guaranteeing you’ll be enjoying the refurbishment for a long time to come.

These layers are: a powder coat primer to help prevent corrosion, a coat of paint, and an acrylic lacquer to ensure the wheels are protected from the elements.

The colour selection is up to you: you can select one of our current colours, all high quality paints, or we can find the exact match to your current wheels. We highly recommend our shadow chrome finish if you’re looking for that distinctive metallic sheen.

The final step is to send the alloys through quality control, to ensure that they meet our rigorous standards. Then, the tyres are refitted, inflated to the correct pressure and re-balanced, and checked once more before we are happy that they’re ready for you to collect. To keep the refurbished wheels in pristine condition, we recommend you clean them at least twice a week with a car sponge and wheel cleaner.
