Porsche 911 Carrera Gets a Stunning Painted Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

diamond-alloys-porsche-refurbished-alloywheelsWhen you own a stunning performance car like this Porsche 911 Carrera you want to keep the alloys in tip top condition and looking good. However, even performance cars suffer the same problems as your everyday run around. These alloys sadly suffered with corrosion on the inside of the alloys, as well as minor scuffs on the faces, no problem for our technicians who are skilled at repairing performance cars like this Porsche.

The alloy wheels were chemically stripped back, sanded on the inside to remove all the corrosion that’s wasn’t removed in the acid tank and then painted to colour match the car’s bodywork.

Claude was so pleased he emailed to say “Hi Dali, I picked up the car earlier today. The wheels look fantastic (brand new) and the car drives beautifully. I would have no hesitation recommending your services. Rgds, Claude.”

Corrosion Killer – Alloys Wheels Worst Enemy!

Take a close look at these images and you will see there was severe corrosion damage on the alloys. This damage is caused when the protective lacquer layer is compromised by kerbing damage, water seeps underneath making them corrode and look unsightly. However, do not fear, Diamond Alloys is here to come to the rescue for such problems. You’ll be pleasured to read that you don’t have to buy expensive new alloys! We have the skilled technicians to eradicate corrosion to give them a newly finished look you’ll appreciate.

We turned these Mercedes SL500 alloy wheels around in 3 working days, refurbishing them back to the OEM finish (manufacture finish). Compare the before and after finish and you’ll be impressed by the transformation.

Porsche Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

Take a look at your car and think for a moment ‘How can I improve the look?’ If you are looking at a stunning yellow Porsche you might think that this is not possible, but by simply changing the colour of the alloys you can enhance the look!

Our client brought in his Porsche which had Titan Silver rims and asked our technicians for advice on what colour would work better? Workshop Manager Amerjit Ubhi was happy to assist by showing the client some different options; he said “I suggested a Gloss Black painted finish which I thought would make a superb contrast against the bright yellow of the car. I also suggested black rim bands which help protect the rims from kerbing damage.”

As you can see this was great advice and the shiny black alloys are the finishing touch that the customer was very happy with. In fact he was happy with both our service and the finished product.

Why YOU should trust an Alloy Wheel Repair Company to do a great job.

photo 1When you want a job done well, do it yourself. This is a great adage but not always sounds advise, especially when it comes to repairing and refurbishing your alloy wheels. Some clients are tempted to save money by attempting to strip back and re-spray alloy wheels themselves, but our technicians at Diamond Alloys advise that this could in fact end up costing you more!

Customer Phil Searle can attest to this! He brought his 2 Volvo wheels to Diamond Alloys because his own attempts at self-repair turned out to be much harder work and more time consuming than he imagined.

Although he had done a fairly good job on one of the wheels Phil decided it was too much work and stopped half way through the second coming to the conclusion he’d rather let the experts at Diamond Alloys finish the job.

Our guys chemically stripped them back to get any remaining paint off the alloys and then prepped them before giving them a smooth powder coat base. The final finish was a Black with Chrome painted finish and a protective lacquered layer.

are the same alloysHead painter Paul commented “It is not only that prepping wheels yourself is hard work, but you probably won’t get a sound surface required to achieve a brilliantly smooth finish. Also, a professional alloy wheel repair company will ensure the protective lacquer is sound, ensuring they have a longer life spam, essentially saving you money in the long run.”

Phil was so happy with the results that he said when he came to collect “wow are these the same wheels?!” and kindly left the following feedback on the website “Nice easy drive to Diamond from where we are (High Wycombe). My Volvo wheels looked amazing. First impressions of Diamond Alloys is how clean and orderly everything looks. A very professional service and courteous, helpful service from Sasha. Many thanks.”

Restore damaged alloy wheels with a refurbishment

Take a look at the before images of these alloys wheels and you will see they have been badly damaged on the outer rim, which often happens when cars park too close to high kerbs. This damage not only looks unsightly and will devalue your car, but it also breaks the protective lacquer layer which allows water to seep underneath which could cause your alloys to corrode, especially if you live close to the coast where salt water damage is more common.

The owner of these alloys not only wanted the damage repaired, but was also after a new look to update them from the textured metallic finish to smooth and sophisticated grey paint finish.

Our guys cleaned and prepped the wheels to reveal and then remove any damage, filling kerb damage before the alloys where powder coated to produce a smooth and blemish free surface for our painters to work with. The finished results were stunning and the customer was very satisfied with the transformation.

Take a look at these alloys wheels which client David Jones brought in to our London wheel repair centre. As you can see his Nissan wheels were badly corroded, in fact perhaps some of the worst our guys had ever seen! However, with a dip into our acid bath, a thorough clean and some careful preparations the wheels were already on their way to looking good. To ensure a sound and smooth surface was achieve, the wheels were powder coated several times.

Unfortunately the first paint application suffered a reaction giving the wheels a slight hint of purple! This can happen on occasion, especially when wheels arrive in poor condition; however our technicians persevered to ensure the customer received the shiny graphite grey alloys he was expecting.

Take a look at these Range Rover alloy wheels which were looking pretty dull and uninspiring before their Diamond Alloys makeover. All kerbing damage, scuffs and scrapes were dealt with first with a clean down in our aquablast machine before getting some loving care in our prep room.

The finished result produced a wheel which was stunning, bringing life back to their look in keeping with the prestigious marque they belong to. Our technicians applied a beautiful grey paint effect on the inside of the spokes and then applied a diamond cut face to really show off the stunning 14 spoke design.
