Have you ever seen an alloy wheel that’s almost impossibly shiny? If you’ve jealously wondered how your alloys can achieve the same look then read on: our diamond cutting service is all you need.
Diamond cutting is a very simple process to understand, but one that takes years for technicians to perfect. At the heart of the process is the act of putting a painted wheel on a lathe and machining off a minuscule part to leave a shiny finish. The only way to achieve this is by using a diamond drill, which is hard and sharp enough to achieve such a precise finish. To put it simply, without the diamonds the finish cannot be achieved.
Although the cutting part of the process is complex, the true finish can only be achieved by painstakingly following a series of steps both before and afterwards.
At Diamond Alloys we start by removing the wheel and aqua blasting it, something which removes all the layers of paint to be replaced along with any corrosion and detrimental brake dust. Once this is done our technicians examine the wheel to check for any damage that needs to be removed, and perform and repairs or further cleaning processes necessary. This is just one of the many times throughout the process that the wheel is examined in detail – by the end we know the wheel better than you do!
From here the wheel is painted, diamond cut and then covered in a state of the art scratch proof laquer. Because we aquablasted at the start, the layers of paint and laquer stick perfectly to the wheel, giving you a perfectly smooth finish. The wheel is then baked in an oven to set the lacquer before, you guessed it, more inspections and a final refit.
We believe that diamond cutting offers a truly premium finish, and as it can be done in 48 hours there’s really no excuse not to upgrade your look this summer! Prices start from £55, please call us on 0845 370 8881 for details.
