my fingers hurt and blistered when i polished just my lip on the rims. nice work on the polished dials

 

Jeez, polishing stuff is no joke. It's taking me a day a rim at this rate, since I have other stuff to do. It's basically 7 hours a day scrubbing down to bare metal and back to a shine. That's the most time consuming part. Once I get past 600 grit, it goes faster. I don't think I'll EVER do this myself again. Ever.

Anyways, got some paint done on the rims. I'm not sure if I should clear coat the whole thing or if that would force me to buff the clear to make it perfectly clear or whatever. Maybe I should just wax them. I dunno.

I didn't prep the lips of the rims at all. After all this polishing, I said screw it and just painted them. They look like crap but at this point, I don't care.

 

Lol Polishing sucks, big time, big big time haha. They look good. Honostly I would skip clear, and wax em.

 

Wow, nice work! They were pretty sweet when you first got them but nice they are slick!!

 

I'd clear em, they'll oxidize quick otherwise

 

Getting there... 3 polished and painted, one left. I got the last one started today. All that's left is 600, 800, 1000, 1500, rubbing compound, polish, and paint.



I suppose I'll have to clear coat all 4 of them afterwards...

 

Yes you will so that the sexyness of these wheels last longer!

Your gonna have to make sure that the tire shop folks dont scratch the sh*t outa your lip...they did on mine even when i threatened to hurt someone if it happened

 

Set is complete!

 

Nice work buddy! Cant wait to see them on the car!

 

OH MAN!
good job on them!
