This is the best video I've seen on this subject - no nonsense, no specialist tools, gives me confidence to have a go at my Merc alloys - F*****G pot-holes are a NIGHTMARE where we live - so many beautiful wheels being destroyed - no matter how careful you are going to get caught out - so this gives me hope! Thanks - and THANKS for not plastering music all over the video - kudos to you. Subd.
You are welcome mate and I also agree about potholes damaging our alloysโฆGRRRR!
Thank you for the kind words and hopefully you sort your alloys with this tutorial mate ๐ฏ๐๐ฝ๐
How did it turn out for you? I f*ked up my merc alloys too and want to fix it.
Thanks for the video, well done! I was glad to find this video, as most others use a drill to sand out the scratches, so it's nice to know I can do it all by hand and thus limit the repair to just the areas that need it. Now all I need to do is learn how to properly parallel park!
You are welcome mate and good luck with the parallel parking cos it's hard!! ๐๐

Nice fix, you did well to damage those wheels with those anti curb tyres,
Slid in the snow and banged both right side wheels of my Fourrunner off of a curb. I have followed your video with one exception- the impact left a sawtooth ridge along the tire contact point. I used a couple of needle files to smooth down the edge, then re-applied sandpaper. Ready for the lacquer application, but already looking very good, and thanks for the tips.
Comments and feedback like this make my day when I read them. I'm glad you have sorted the major part of the damage and most importantly I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and honest feedback about my video tutorial.
Take care of you and be safe ๐๐ช๐พ๐๐พ

I watched other videos and no one recommended that. I'm excited to do this. I've only had the rims for a year and was really bummed about the scratching it on a curb. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for a thorough walkthrough of fixing curb damages on diamond cut wheels. Are the laquer you use regular clearcoat?
Yes mate. The laquer I used was clearcoat ๐๐ฝ๐
Great video. Thank you.
Hello, you made this look so easy. I have two questions. After the sanding process is complete will the section where the repair is made look different from the rest of the wheel or will it be the same color as the rest of the wheel? Should I use touch up paint on the repair? Thank you for your time and your video. I hope you have a good day.
Good work. Being quoted ยฃ120 for a whole wheel, for a tiny bit of kerb rash, so may as well give this a go first. Thanks for the video - great instructions! Remember - back and forth, back and forth, and DO NOT LET IT DRIP!! Cheers man!

@Dj blink in having a black alloy wheel, should I spray it with lacquer before spraying it with black paint ?

You would most likely need a darker grey alloy spray to use after the lacquer mate

Dear DJ Blink-Blink, what other alternatives for aluminium lacquer. I went to all paint stores here, but they don't have any
Hello mate, another alternative is "clear coat lacquer"
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink ๐ My Mix ๐ www.djblinkblink.com/ultimate-mix-album
Great Video!!! what if you have those rims an inbetween there's a black gap and brushed chrome in the design?? I guess you just have to work around the blackgap right? This is my BF's name but I'm viewing your video!!
That would be very delicate to work around. It is doable BUT you must be very patient and remember to cover the parts you don't need to repair.
Personally would I attempt to do this? Yes and no. Yes if it's a small area I'm working in. No if it's a big surface area.

Clear Lacquer can be sprayed on any alloy colour ๐๐พ
Disculpe mi amigo me podrรญa dar el nombre de ese barniz aver si lo consigo aki en Mรฉxico
In a warm weather climate is it necessary to heat up the lacquer
It is advisable
Can i use that alloy spray on machine grey aka gun metal?
Yes cos it's "clear" lacquer.
Where can I get the spray can I just get it on my local auto parts store?
I got mine from eBay mate ๐๐พ
What is alloy wheel laquer? What is it called in the USA? Also is it gloss, semi gloss or matte?
Alloy wheel lacquer is a protective coat added to paint or metal. Also it is gloss (see example below)

Just started today went from p200 to p1500 wet dry but thereโs differences because itโs smooth but the diamond cut as lines like a record so I canโt get it match up hopefully after laquer it looks better
It would look way better after lacquer. Wipe it down first with water and then spirit, then spray the lacquer in one motion (left to right) while making sure the lacquer does not drip. Wait 12hrs and then respray again (remember to keep about 1/4 arms length away when spraying).
Good luck mate ๐๐๐พ
DJ Blink-Blink
DJ Blink-Blink cheers I kind of used higher grit lightly over it to put the lines back into the metal in one motion that seems to match better
Fantastic!!! Keep up the good work mate cos you gat this ๐๐๐ฝ

does this work with black alloys aswell?

Great job! will you do it on my car ;-)
Thanks Alison...maybe lolzzz ๐
Will this work if i have black rims?

I have a question for what is exactly the spray ? What happens if I do it without the spray ๐
Hello Samuel. The spray is "Lacquer" and is used to seal the wheels to keep it protected. If you don't spray lacquer on the wheels, the bare metal is exposed to the elements (wind, rain, dirt, sunlight) and you would just need to clean it regularly.
So, in summary it's not a big thing if you don't use the lacquer spray.

@@DjBlinkBlink oh ok thank you !! my mom just bought a Mercedes GLE43 AMGcoupe and I took it for a drive and I wasnโt use to the size of the car and is also very hard to see the outside, It has good looking AMG wheels and I did a curb rash on 1 rim ๐ญthank god it was only one, I was freaking out in my inside, but she didnโt notice yet so I have to repair it as soon as possible ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐จ, again thanks !!
@@samwh4775 you are welcome mate. If the damage on your mum's wheel is small, then you "may" skip the lacquer step. However if the damage is not small, I would advise you buy the lacquer spray and use it as required. This would ensure you have a complete finish on the wheels.
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink
@@DjBlinkBlink thanks DJ! What happens if the lacquer drips? You said number of times don't let it drip, I am wondering what happens if it does drip ?
@@arijsyed if the lacquer drips, it would form little air pockets and bubbles on your alloy wheel.

Are u sure it wonโt ruin my rims? I wanna do it myself cause the wheel shop said they will charge me $210 just for little ass scratch
Unfortunately I can't be responsible for the outcome of your rims. However in as much as you adhere to everything within this video and your alloy wheels are similar to what everyone within the 50 comments in this video happy with their repair, then you "should" be fine.

@Ghumman Matt Hi there. I have the same fear..lol...I was wondering if you tried this tutorial out and if so, what were your results.
Are these aluminium alloy rims?
No mate. They are diamond cut
Turns out a couple of those Pok-e-Mon cards were worth enough to buy a whole new car! Until he sprayed them.
I donโt have Pokรฉmon cards. Can I still do the repair without them? ๐
Yes you can mate ๐๐
Just scuffed a bit of my diamond cut alloy against a kerb god dammit
From the video at 3.00 it appears as though these wheels are diamond cut finished on the silver surface. What you've basically done is sanded off the curb rash, smoothed it out, along with the diamond cut finish and lacquered it. From a distance it might look ok but close up you'll see part of the wheel is still diamond cut and where it's been repaired just faded off to a smooth finish. Really not the way to repair a diamond cut finished wheel unless you want it to look like a ยฃ14 repair.
Paul, we are not complaining. We are happy with our ยฃ14 repair and no one would be looking at our diamond cut alloy wheels closely unless they are planning to STEAL or INSPECT the wheels for damages.
Again, thank you for your observations but we are happy with the cheap repair ๐๐
@@filmsbyimran_ that's the mission bro ๐๐๐คฃ. I never ever allow people to get under my skin ๐คฃ๐
should've covered the break disk and caliper with plastic or something.
If you adhere to the spraying motion (left to right or vise versa) and most importantly if you apply the lacquer from a distance as described in the video, you should not have negative effect on your brake disc or the caliper. Remember the elements (rain, salt, mud etc) land on the brake discs throughout the year and this does not have any effect on the braking system or performance as a whole.
All in all, you should be fine
Never put spray can in boiling water, great way to make the can EXPLODE.
A good thing we are not using boiling water then yes?
I went down to the metal. But now the clear coat will not stick to the metal
Hello mate,
Since you went all the way to bare metal, you would have to put more than just a few coats on your wheel when spraying it (make sure there are no dry or thin spots during this process). Using a high-end clear coat metal product like "Everbrite clear coating" will do the trick.
Follow this process below:
1. Apply the first coat lightly.
2. After this, you can go heavy when applying the succeeding clear coats.
Remember, wait for the first layer to dry completely before you apply the second coat.
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink

@@DjBlinkBlink I am using the same product you got in the video. I think you are right the Eventbrite or high end clear coat, and supper thin layers.
@@casparharte yes mate. The Everbrite would 100% sort this out for you. Good luck with the repair and feel free to contact me again if you do have any further questions ๐๐พ๐
So all u need is sandpaper water and the spray
And a lot of patience ๐๐๐พ

But you are not showing the difference...not a damaged rim.
After 189 comments saying this video helped them to repair their damaged rims and 1,800 likes, I'm kind of wondering if you watched this video correctly? ๐ค๐ค
The larker lol, sellotape lmfao
Nice, but you should have used aluminum polishing compound before spraying clear coat
No thanks. Not with this process. Also I was pleased with the end result and itโs still holding till date
@DjBlinkBlink the part you sanded looks grey and dull. The factory finish is much more shiny, looking like stainless steel finish
