I'm looking at getting my summer wheels refurbished.
Originally they would have been titanium silver with some diamond cutting. I think that they had a smart repair before I bought the car and they now need refurbishing.

Having had diamond cut wheels in the past, and knowing how cosseted they need to be I want to avoid diamond cutting (even if its possible).
I was thinking of a shiny silver for where the diamond cut would be and a darker silver to the rest of the wheel.
I've seen it done with standard paint, but my local wheel refurbishers say that they only powder coat one solid colour. I know that its possible with masking or by removing the powder before curing (uuu toob video)

Does anyone know of a refurbisher that can apply two colours of powder coat to a wheel?

Powder coating is a heat process, so I don't see how to do a 2 colour finish.
Are your local powder coaters City on Benacre Dr? I've used them a lot. Their chrome finish is good. Their prices are v good.

I had my CLS wheels done locally (Silsoe) and I chose Himalayan Grey and asked them to add extra sparkles which they did.
I don't know if that's the same thing though...
