Picked up some stock rims from a member here. I figured they would need some work, being they are over 10 years of age, and road rash is bound to happen.
When I got them ![]() ![]() Began the process of stripping and sanding ![]() ![]() Sanding ![]() Skipped a few photos here, mainly because it was some busy work. Process included, stripping and sanding to bare metal. 3 Coats primer, 3 Coats Color. Going to put clear on tonight. Took 1 1/2 half to just tape it up to spray the inside of the spokes..but I like the results...can't wait to see'em on the car. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I only did one wheel to just see how it would turn out. Now I got 3 more to do. Heres a pick of the car without them on. So when all is done, there is reference to the old steelies =P (Shocks, coils on the way, BTW =)) ![]() |

Alrighty, finished product with the clear.
![]() I only notice one little spot on the edge I didn't sand down enough. So on the next one I'm correcting that by filling in those deep gashes with some fiberglass putty, Aquameld to be exact. It has worked wonders for me in the past, not sure how it will hold up once the fine sanding is done tonight but we'll see. Some picks of the sanding, and my wonderful mouse that makes sanding so much easier. I really only have to spend about 15 mins sanding by hand. ![]() Filling the gaps ![]() Going to try to sand the remaining 3 tonight, fill the gaps, and fine sand the next day, and hopefully start applying paint. All the parts I've ordered came in, so I gota get rolling =P |
