    Can anyone recommend anybody who does 2-colour (silver/black) diamond cut alloy wheel refurbishment near Barnsley?

    I'm looking to have all four done so I would probably have to leave my car with them. I've been warned off the "do-it-on -your-drive" merchants as they probably don't carry the proper kit.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Hi buddy,
    There's a chap who does them at the side of the petrol station opposite the church at Darton.

    Powder coating is a better option

    A guy at work has used the guy at Wooley Edge. Been to see him. The set-up appears quite good but he came over a bit dis-interested if I'm honest

    They're Nissan's standard Diamond Cuts which were part of the reason I bought the car in the first place.

    If they are not too bad a refurbished will paint whole wheel black and then grind the excess off to show the silver again and once done will lacquer the whole wheel.
    If they are badly damaged and can’t be ground back they will fill silver and black accordingly and lacquer.
    Seen this done many times and rarely does the lacquer last over a year before showing signs of failure.
    Ask about warranties and cleaning regimes to help.
    Typically wheels cost between £40-£80 each.
    PC much more robust and last longer.

    They did mine, they will remove them from your car on the drive refurb them and refit them.
    Excellent job and only took a few days.
