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

Need to do mine next week, does the top layer just peel away or did you sand back?
