    this is not the proper way to refurbish diamond cut wheels, you need a diamond cutting lathe to achieve that OEM polished face finish.

      Primer is only sanded if there is a defect. Assuming the surface was perfect and primer was laid evenly, no sanding is required.

    • @BBoySewo
      @BBoySewo 11 месяцев назад

      For bare aluminium you need DTM (direct to metal) clear coat. Otherwise any different one will peel off after a year or two

      How else are you supposed to do it when it’s a bare finish? 😂 if they were re diamond cut they would have the face re cut until they were smooth again. Different tool. Same outcome

    You know what you’re doing. But where do you think that fine aluminum dust from all that grinding is going? I can see the cloud in the video and I didn’t see any eye protection or mask on your head. I’ve been doing paint rims you name for 50 years. I like it. But it. I’ve also known guys that were in a hurry,I got downdraft I’m outside I’m an idiot and they all have one thing in common. They don’t have to care anymore. Get you some quality goggles that fit over a particulate respirator when you’re grinding that aluminum,pal. Or not,but you don’t want to know what that fine aluminim dust does to your lungs and eyes after awhile.
