x2

I always like refurbished wheels done right

 

spraying on the last coat of clear right now....


i'm going to take off the tape tomorrow, i'll post some pics up after i do

 

do you know if there is some sort of torque specification on the rivits in order for i would guess the wheels not to bend or warp???? like a a wheels sealer of some sort? also. NICE JOB YO!!!! this is like the third wheels refinishing job thread i've seend and i am impressed. gonna do my super fins shortly.

 

^i've gotten advice to go anywhere from 15-25 ft lbs....and when i took off the bolts they had the blue lock-tite on them....so i'm going to use it again....

 

did you put the loctite on only the rivit studs or along the inner lip aswell?


also about how long on each grit of sand paper did you take before you moved on to the next higher grit? (timewise not too sure if you got that)

i havnt put them back together, so i'll let you know what i do when i do.

i used 220 until i couldn't see any casting/machining marks (i probably took the longest with this grit)
moved onto wet 320 when all of ^ was gone. i moved on to each grit when the marks from the other grit were gone, which left me with finer sandpaper marks....

 

i had to start with 60 grit....

the raw cast aluminum wouldnt clean up on anything less. I still have to spend the most time on this grit. But it seems as though every other grit polishes up in half the time.

 

NICE. i think i am going to go ahead and start my own wheel refinishing thread.

i'll let you know as soon as i get my ish going!

60 wow

there's still some bumps, but this was the first wheel, i'll probably go down to 180 in some areas on the next wheels......
