Hi Hawki
I used Plasti-Kote Plastic Primer and Plasti-Kote fast dry Enamel Areosol ALUMINIUM 109-S colour,
I got the H Stickers for Stickerdude on Ebay
and covered with Plasti-Kote Clear coat 119-S when they were Finished.
the colour is flater than the shiny original ones but I had the diamond cut look removed from my wheels when I had them Re furbished. The colour matches pretty well
Plasti-Kote do a good looking Chrome Effect paint 150-S which looks like it may match pretty well with the diamond edge if you have it on your wheels
