Oh, darn;)

What did you use to polish them and how long did it take for one wheel? :confused: :) :)

Djsvxxl 03-07-2008 11:51 PM

I used my friend, told him I would buy him dinner:lol:

It's a lot easier with two people.
I used a 3 inch or so DA sander with grits from 80-600
Then some 1000 grit wet sandpaper
Last an electric buffer and two grades of polishing compound

As for how long... the one i started on is not done:lol:
Rough estimate about four hours a wheel:eek:

Now, I want to see you polish the center caps to the same high sheen. ;)

:p Those darn center caps are always the problem!

Djsvxxl 03-08-2008 03:22 PM

thought about getting custom aluminum caps but that's a lot of money so figured I'd just paint them... any suggestion?

ensteele 03-08-2008 06:01 PM

Painting them would be the cheapest as well. :)

Alsa makes chrome paint...im sure thatd come as close to matching as possible

Djsvxxl 03-09-2008 08:54 PM

Anyone got an extra intake manifold?:D

Johnybeas 03-09-2008 10:12 PM

i wanna do this! that way i'll have nice looking wheels for my snow tires, when i buy my new rims and low pro's. What kind of sander are you using, how much did it cost you....
