so in 2024.. has anyone successfully gotten their diamond black wheels refinished?

Mine were curbed when I bought the car (back in 2011). I should have picked up a set before the prices shot through the roof. They're my winter wheels so not a big deal but it's one of those things I'd like to tidy up one of these days. Anyone have a positive experience cleaning up a set of these?

Thanks!

Yea its easy where I am located. I just found a powdercoater that specializes in the Hyper Silver Finish and he did the exact color match.

IIRC, its three coats. The base is black, the next coat is the shade of hyper silver that matches that shade, and then a final clear coat.



The two wheels with the BBS center caps are the original finish. The two wheels that dont have center caps are the matched new finish.

Sweet! This is exactly what I was looking for. Is there a specific shade, color code, etc for the hyper silver that you used?
