Wheel Refinishing..

Wheel Refinishing..
Is anyone familiar with the rim refinishing process? I have some curb rash on my rear passenger rim. The stock 'Aris' wheel has a very noticeable diamond finish - it literally glistens in sunlight. The wheel refinishing guy I had look at it noticed immediately. In shade you'd never know it had a diamond finish.
Obviously I'd like this diamond finish to be there after the refinishing process. The repair guy claimed they could do this - and quoted me $10 extra for the $135 repair estimate. But does this mean he will re-create the diamond finish, or simply take extra care to just refinish the parts of the wheel with curb rash?
I'd like the refinished wheel to match the others. If it's not going to I'd rather just leave it as it is.
T.I.A.

Bob in NY,
On the internet, I entered autorimshop.com/Jaguar and this really nice site came up with your wheel, completely redone and looking great for $124.99.
They are in Farmingdale, New York! Why not check them out and call them with your Wheel questions.......this beats the $135.00 quote you got from the local Wheel Guy.
Bob, just trying to help!

The $135 price seems to be the going price here in Fl. I live in Panama City and that's the price the only guy in town quoted. About the Diamond finish, I'm at a loss, can't help, but for 20 bucks if he can do the job, I'd go for it, but get a written guarantee...but that last piece of advice here in Fl., is a laugh.
