Default can u refurb diamond cut alloys?

hello people, does anybody know if u can refurb diamond cut alloys , im guessing you remove the laquer then sand any marks out with fine sand paper then polish them up with a machine polisher(buffer)
does this sound right or should i stay well away?
any help would be great
cheers

lol to refurb diamond cut alloys...you need to have them diamond cut again! Try some1 like Spit and Polish?? A company local to me quoted me around £350 to recut the alloys in my sig, thats with out re-laquaring them tho.
