Default Wheels Restoration PICS!

well figure i would post up a topic for once. i am sure this has been posted over and over but i am pretty proud of the work i have done so far. started out the project about getting ripped off by sumo and finally got the wheels and they were pretty rough. just restoring and polishing the lips maybe some paint not sure yet.

Pretty rough


How i recieved the wheels after taking off the tires that were [freak]ed.


Chemical stripper. Clear coat was pealing with some minor road rash.


wet sanded them down with 800 1200 1500 2000 2500 grits


First coat halfway done


****


First coat done!!


thanks for looking

Looks good so far. Decided on what you're doing with the spokes? When you wetsand the lips, do you just use constant flow of water from a hose, or what?

I just used a bucket of water and dipped the paper in there. No need to keep water running that would be a pain in the ***
