Default Fully polsihed my BBS LMs

Finally decided to fully polish out my LMs. I really didnt want to cause I knew how much work was involved. Hahaha Took about 7-9 hour per rim. Finished in 4 days all by myself!

How it was before, Silver


Stripping the paint with aircraft remover


Scraped off the paint and sanded everything down with 150 grit sand paper


Wet sanded it down with 600, 800, and 1000 grit. Pictured is after 1000 grit


One spoke polished


Finished product!!






On the car






Tell what you think! :wheee:

gorgeous! I keep thinking about doing this w/ the blades I picked that were already painted...but I'm kinda lazy

you should post some before/after pics to compare what they looked like on the coupe before polishing.

very impressive, came it real nice. I love mesh spokes! They look really good on that car color as well.
