Diamond Cut for defo then clear coat

Im afraid i can t help on that but ....
Im after a decent set of Alloys for my Merc Vito if anyone has any sitting around ??

 

DEFO DEFO 100% Diamond cut ..

 

Diamond cut with painted inserts

This is done by painting the whole wheel, then machining the front face, then applying coat of lacquer.

Needs to be done at a fixed site refurb company, mobile guys like ourselves cannot do this due to lacquer used.

Sorry to say that some mobile companys say they can, it wont last, i promise you.

Pristine, lepsons or oce i can reccomend

 

thanks peeps i have mine done allready by lepsons but i dont think they will last long so might give pristine a try next time

Are you a franchisee?

Presumably you dont use 2k Clearcoats?

 

Nope, not a franchise

We do use 2k clearcoat lacquer, dupont 355s

Why do you ask mate.

 

employee then?

You spray all your alloys actually inside the van?

 

Im the owner of wheel repair it, dont go out on vans much since i broke me back in five places last yr.

we have 4 vans over here, and 2 in australia, 1 in finland.

All work done inside the van, why, can i interest you in one.

are you in the same kind of work then mate

 

No you bloody cant

I'm a mobile SMART repairer have been for over five years, DONT use 2k products

 

why not mate, 2k lacquer is about the best you can get, for clearness, shine, and durability.

what do you suggest mate

Is it your own company or a biggie like chips away, what area you cover,

 

Not legally allowed to... I am aware how good 2k is, though there are ALOT of legal restrictions regarding 2k... If you arent aware already BE VERY careful...

I'm a sole trader, owner operator (inependant) London, Kent and dare I say it Essex

 

No worries mate, im well aware of how nasty 2k is,

All my vans are fitted with 5 stage filter spraybooths, stops any nasty stuff going outside, and all my lads have proper suits,gloves and air fed masks.

Over 18k of equipment in each van, no messing with that 2k stuff, its the bad boy of our trade. All our equpment in iso approved and HSO tested.

Cheers for warning anyway buddy.
