Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels – Step-by-Step Process
1. Inspection & Preparation
The wheels are first inspected for any damage. Tyres are removed, and the wheel is cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt, brake dust, or grease.
2. Stripping the Old Finish
The existing paint or lacquer is stripped off using a chemical solution or shot blasting, exposing the bare metal surface.
3. Damage Repair
Any kerb damage, scratches, or dents are repaired to restore the shape of the wheel before the cutting process begins.
4. Base Coating
A base colour (usually grey, black, or another selected shade) is applied and then cured in an oven. This forms the background for the diamond cut face.
5. Precision Diamond Cutting
The wheel is mounted on a specialist CNC lathe. A fine layer of metal is precisely cut from the front face of the wheel to create a smooth, shiny, metallic finish.
6. Clear Lacquering
A high-quality clear lacquer is applied to protect the freshly cut surface from corrosion and environmental damage. The wheel is then baked in a curing oven.
7. Final Check & Reassembly
The wheel is carefully inspected for quality, and the tyre is refitted, ready to go back on the car looking like new.
