Thanks for the video, well done! I was glad to find this video, as most others use a drill to sand out the scratches, so it's nice to know I can do it all by hand and thus limit the repair to just the areas that need it. Now all I need to do is learn how to properly parallel park!

Unfortunately I can't be responsible for the outcome of your rims. However in as much as you adhere to everything within this video and your alloy wheels are similar to what everyone within the 50 comments in this video happy with their repair, then you "should" be fine.

Hello Samuel. The spray is "Lacquer" and is used to seal the wheels to keep it protected. If you don't spray lacquer on the wheels, the bare metal is exposed to the elements (wind, rain, dirt, sunlight) and you would just need to clean it regularly. So, in summary it's not a big thing if you don't use the lacquer spray. Cheers, 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙮 𝘿𝙅 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙨 👉www.djblinkblink.com/music-downloads

@@B8_ghostt you are welcome mate. If the damage on your mum's wheel is small, then you "may" skip the lacquer step. However if the damage is not small, I would advise you buy the lacquer spray and use it as required. This would ensure you have a complete finish on the wheels. Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink
@@arijsyed if the lacquer drips, it would form little air pockets and bubbles on your alloy wheel. Cheers, 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙮 𝘿𝙅 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙨 👉www.djblinkblink.com/music-downloads
Just started today went from p200 to p1500 wet dry but there’s differences because it’s smooth but the diamond cut as lines like a record so I can’t get it match up hopefully after laquer it looks better
It would look way better after lacquer. Wipe it down first with water and then spirit, then spray the lacquer in one motion (left to right) while making sure the lacquer does not drip. Wait 12hrs and then respray again (remember to keep about 1/4 arms length away when spraying). Good luck mate 😎👍🏾 DJ Blink-Blink
Hello mate, Since you went all the way to bare metal, you would have to put more than just a few coats on your wheel when spraying it (make sure there are no dry or thin spots during this process). Using a high-end clear coat metal product like "Everbrite clear coating" will do the trick. Follow this process below: 1. Apply the first coat lightly. 2. After this, you can go heavy when applying the succeeding clear coats. Remember, wait for the first layer to dry completely before you apply the second coat.

From the video at 3.00 it appears as though these wheels are diamond cut finished on the silver surface. What you've basically done is sanded off the curb rash, smoothed it out, along with the diamond cut finish and lacquered it. From a distance it might look ok but close up you'll see part of the wheel is still diamond cut and where it's been repaired just faded off to a smooth finish. Really not the way to repair a diamond cut finished wheel unless you want it to look like a £14 repair.
Paul, we are not complaining. We are happy with our £14 repair and no one would be looking at our diamond cut alloy wheels closely unless they are planning to STEAL or INSPECT the wheels for damages. Again, thank you for your observations but we are happy with the cheap repair 😂😂

Should I use touch up paint on the repair? Thank you for your time and your video. I hope you have a good day.
If you look closely (like right at it with your face), you may notice a little difference. But in all honesty, how it looks after the repair is wayyyyyy better than when the damage was there
@@DjBlinkBlinkThank you for your reply. I watched your video again and I can see the difference.
Great work
Thanks mate 😎
Hi mate don’t you need a primer- paint and then lacquer?
No material filler right? Only sanding off material and then painting it right?
Why didn't you polish the rim after the wet sandpaper, to get a smoother surface?
Thank you sir ❤️ which spry used
You are welcome. Spray used was the E-Tech Alloy Wheel Lacquer 400ml.
Bravo man. 👏 proud of what you did and i saved alot of money $$$$
Brilliant news mate and I'm glad my tutorial helped you out.

I have a silver and black diamond cut alloy wheel, can this lacquer be sprayed on both?
Clear Lacquer can be sprayed on any alloy colour 👍🏾
Yo, nice fix! Is the spray paint a silver color or just a clear coat?? Thanks
@@chillsoundzzdre it’s lacquer (clear coat)
Great job. Learned how to do mine, thanks!

What is a different between sand paper and emery cloth? Can I use just sand paper?
What is alloy wheel laquer? What is it called in the USA? Also is it gloss, semi gloss or matte?
Alloy wheel lacquer is a protective coat added to paint or metal. Also it is gloss (see example below)

I have similar bmw rims that are made out of butter and rashed up.. may try this repair. Thanks
You are welcome Ron. Just take it slow and follow each steps as I did mine and you would be fine mate 👍🏾😎
Absolutely mint alloy repair video, explained and showed perfectly 😁👌
Thank you Ashley for your honest feedback. I'm sure you would also be able to repair any alloy wheel going forward mate 😎👍🏾

At all AT ALL….
Nice video.. thanks for this my naija brother
My pleasure 0:28
Can i use that alloy spray on machine grey aka gun metal?
Yes cos it's "clear" lacquer.
So you sprayed only the top part of the wheel ...the sanded areas... correct? Ta
Yes mate. Just the sanded area were sprayed 😎👍🏿
@@DjBlinkBlink should it work on aluminium alloys I guess?
@@meguinness1116 no this will NOT work on aluminium rims. Only alloy wheel rims
@@DjBlinkBlink Alloy and aluminium is the same thing 😁
Thanks, im going to use this method.
You are welcome mate. I can guarantee it works cos I still used this method to repair 3 alloy wheels today and it turned out FANTASTIC 💯🔥Cheers, 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙮 𝘿𝙅 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙨 👉www.djblinkblink.com/music-downloads

Great video thanks
Thanks Adrian 👍🏾😎

Dear DJ Blink-Blink, what other alternatives for aluminium lacquer. I went to all paint stores here, but they don't have any
Hello mate, another alternative is "clear coat lacquer"
Cheers,

Great Video!!! what if you have those rims an inbetween there's a black gap and brushed chrome in the design?? I guess you just have to work around the blackgap right? This is my BF's name but I'm viewing your video!!
That would be very delicate to work around. It is doable BUT you must be very patient and remember to cover the parts you don't need to repair.
Personally would I attempt to do this? Yes and no. Yes if it's a small area I'm working in. No if it's a big surface area.

Thank you bro ya video is very helpful appreciate it 🤙🙌
Great video. Thank you.
whats the size of sandpaper emery cloth
the one with out water whats the size of that please
They are sold at different sizes. The one I got was 230 x 280mm. Remember, the size you get does not matter because you just need a little.
See answer above ⬆️🆙
Hello DJ, do you live in south London, I wonder if I could possibly bring my car to you..
Hello Jacob. I wish I was that available to be honest so I could help out 😃. My time schedule is so tight and 24hrs is practically not enough for me to get things done.
P.S: I don't live in South London 😎👍🏾
Thanks for your DJ.. god bless 👍
Will this work if i have black rims?
You would also need to purchase the exact spray for your rims to match it
I scratched mine on a curb a little but mine are also BMW alloys but darker grey colour, would this method be ok with darker grey colour rims? Or will I need paint?
You would most likely need a darker grey alloy spray to use after the lacquer mate
does this work with black alloys aswell?
Personally I would not attempt to do this on black alloys unless I have the exact "paint" to match it afterwards
how can i get alloy wheel lacquer in Canada
You can get this via eBay canada or Amazon Canada.
Cheers 👉 My Mix 👉 www.djblinkblink.com/ultimate-mix-album
canadian tire, princess auto, partssource all sell it over the counter, even walmart
Thanks Adrian 👍🏾😎
@Dj blink in having a black alloy wheel, should I spray it with lacquer before spraying it with black paint ?
No mate. Lacquer is always applied after the paint to protect the finish...not before
Where can I get the spray can I just get it on my local auto parts store?
I got mine from eBay mate 👍🏾
You are the man😊
Thanks mate 😎👍🏾
Great vid with a full how to. Just one thing. Did you really use Pokemon cards??? :O
Broooooo I did and you would be the first to notice the "atrocity" I committed 😭😂😭😂
Does that paint have any color?
If you are asking about the lacquer spray, it has no colour.

Does this work on Gemini wheels for Tesla model Y. Would the same paint work for those wheel? Hit the curb last night :(
I’m not sure what paint to get, I believe the Gemini wheels are Alloy.
Not sure this method will work on Tesla wheels
@@DjBlinkBlink Thanks anyway, but appreciated the video. Was very well done!
Saved me so much $

Are u sure it won’t ruin my rims? I wanna do it myself cause the wheel shop said they will charge me $210 just for little ass scratch
Unfortunately I can't be responsible for the outcome of your rims. However in as much as you adhere to everything within this video and your alloy wheels are similar to what everyone within the 50 comments in this video happy with their repair, then you "should" be fine.

Good job m8
Thanks mate 😎👍🏾
I have a question for what is exactly the spray ? What happens if I do it without the spray 😅
Hello Samuel. The spray is "Lacquer" and is used to seal the wheels to keep it protected. If you don't spray lacquer on the wheels, the bare metal is exposed to the elements (wind, rain, dirt, sunlight) and you would just need to clean it regularly.
So, in summary it's not a big thing if you don't use the lacquer spray.

@@DjBlinkBlink oh ok thank you !! my mom just bought a Mercedes GLE43 AMGcoupe and I took it for a drive and I wasn’t use to the size of the car and is also very hard to see the outside, It has good looking AMG wheels and I did a curb rash on 1 rim 😭thank god it was only one, I was freaking out in my inside, but she didn’t notice yet so I have to repair it as soon as possible 🚶🏻♂️💨, again thanks !!
@@B8_ghostt you are welcome mate. If the damage on your mum's wheel is small, then you "may" skip the lacquer step. However if the damage is not small, I would advise you buy the lacquer spray and use it as required. This would ensure you have a complete finish on the wheels.
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink
@@DjBlinkBlink thanks DJ! What happens if the lacquer drips? You said number of times don't let it drip, I am wondering what happens if it does drip ?
@@arijsyed if the lacquer drips, it would form little air pockets and bubbles on your alloy wheel.

I have a few deep gashes. Do I use your same procedure or do I have to apply the clay ?
Deep gashes where exactly?
Do I apply Bondo/Clay ??
@@miguelfbabyf.4910 where are the deep gashes? And how deep?
Are these aluminium alloy rims?
No mate. They are diamond cut
What about a chrome rim
@@mst4984 I wouldn’t try this on Chrome wheels…sorry
Great job! will you do it on my car ;-)
Thanks Alison...maybe lolzzz 😂
Hello sir, is there a way to contact you? I would like to send pictures and tell me what color should I use? Please help.
How comes you didnt use any filler, primer and paint?
That's not necessary as you can see from the video. It's a minor repair which does not require any balancing of the wheel afterwards 👍🏾
I would suggest covering the brake so you don’t contaminate the brakes with the spray
Cheers man
You are welcome mate 😎👍🏾

Just started today went from p200 to p1500 wet dry but there’s differences because it’s smooth but the diamond cut as lines like a record so I can’t get it match up hopefully after laquer it looks better
It would look way better after lacquer. Wipe it down first with water and then spirit, then spray the lacquer in one motion (left to right) while making sure the lacquer does not drip. Wait 12hrs and then respray again (remember to keep about 1/4 arms length away when spraying).
Good luck mate 😎👍🏾
DJ Blink-Blink
DJ Blink-Blink cheers I kind of used higher grit lightly over it to put the lines back into the metal in one motion that seems to match better
Fantastic!!! Keep up the good work mate cos you gat this 😎👍🏽
I don’t have Pokémon cards. Can I still do the repair without them? 😂
Yes you can mate 😂😂
I went down to the metal. But now the clear coat will not stick to the metal
Hello mate,
Since you went all the way to bare metal, you would have to put more than just a few coats on your wheel when spraying it (make sure there are no dry or thin spots during this process). Using a high-end clear coat metal product like "Everbrite clear coating" will do the trick.
Follow this process below:
1. Apply the first coat lightly.
2. After this, you can go heavy when applying the succeeding clear coats.
Remember, wait for the first layer to dry completely before you apply the second coat.
Cheers,
DJ Blink-Blink

@@DjBlinkBlink I am using the same product you got in the video. I think you are right the Eventbrite or high end clear coat, and supper thin layers.
@@casparharte yes mate. The Everbrite would 100% sort this out for you. Good luck with the repair and feel free to contact me again if you do have any further questions 👍🏾😎
So all u need is sandpaper water and the spray
And a lot of patience 😎👍🏾
From the video at 3.00 it appears as though these wheels are diamond cut finished on the silver surface. What you've basically done is sanded off the curb rash, smoothed it out, along with the diamond cut finish and lacquered it. From a distance it might look ok but close up you'll see part of the wheel is still diamond cut and where it's been repaired just faded off to a smooth finish. Really not the way to repair a diamond cut finished wheel unless you want it to look like a £14 repair.
Paul, we are not complaining. We are happy with our £14 repair and no one would be looking at our diamond cut alloy wheels closely unless they are planning to STEAL or INSPECT the wheels for damages.
Again, thank you for your observations but we are happy with the cheap repair 😂😂
@@filmsbyimran_ that's the mission bro 😂😂🤣. I never ever allow people to get under my skin 🤣😂
