come on yall, how do you polish a lip?

 

Do a search. I remember a while back this question was asked. I just remember you have to get some high grit sand paper and sand the outer lip first. Sorry

 

i did a search, as always before i post but it was more of, painting own rims, not so much as polishing... i guess ill have to go to a shop and see....

 

I haven't actually done the entire process myself, but I would think that it would be hard to polish just the lip itself. You would have to mask off the rest of the rim extremely well, then use an aircraft grade paint stripper to take the paint off the lip, wet-sand it down with a 1000-1500 grit paper, and use a metal wheel polish like Mother's or Meguiars to get it to shine. I obtained a set of old school rims with a polished lip that needed attention and I did the wet-sanding and polishing and it came out great. Another option might be to strip the paint off the entire rim and then polish the lip, mask that off, and then paint the rest of rim whatever color you desire... there's a thread where a guy did that to a set of HX rims that came out nicely...I'll try and find it...here you go
