This is how you Refinish / Refurbish AMG Monoblock Aero 2 the correct way. Not a step-by-step tutorial!
AMG monoblock aero 2s which came standard on the W210 E55 AMG (1999-2002) and other models such as the R129 were finished in 744 Brilliant Silver paint with a machined lip with the entire wheel being clear coated. These wheels never came powder coated ever and the only color used on this specific wheel which also came in 17", 18", and 19" was 744 Brilliant Silver. The lips were always machined from factory as well. Early Aero 1 wheels were painted in Astral Silver 735 and had a polished lip, they later changed the color code to 744 and machined the lips. The 744 Brilliant Silver matches the factory center caps perfectly as shown in the video. If you have a nice color on you car I would suggest considering getting the wheels done in body color like I did on my 040 Black W210. Otherwise if you are going for the original silver it is always 744 Brilliant Silver.
