Refinishing Autobiography “tech gray” 22” wheels

Wasn’t sure where to post this question and I really don’t expect an answer as I have been researching here in US and not finding much. The 2016 L405 I just purchased has the above mentioned wheels. The tech gray finish has the dark glossy gray spokes and gloss black sides of spokes and hubs. Mine have black over spray from being touched up and nicks on the gloss black. I have only found 1 wheel repair company that says they can do for $300 per wheel. The shipping would be about $125 per wheel and they are located 3,000 miles away so I’m asking if anyone has touched up or repainted theirs. A new set is $6,500 over here. Thank you in advance!

I've not heard of anyone who will do those wheels in the 2 different colors

The only refurbs I've seen, people have had to go all black.

What about diamond cutting them? Would that be a better option?

Diamond cutting / turning is a finish that looks like the alloy underneath - but with a clear lacquer on top
