Agreed. Even just plain bronze would look IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90IntegraC1 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 SOLD. i don't really like gold...i should have them sanded and polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 its not even hard 90 , do it yourself. just time consuming. get sandpaper from 220 to about 2000 , and go at it till there smooth. than buff them with mothers alluminum polish. if you wanted to , after buffing is complete , clean them real good , and clearcoat them. cause naked alluminum is no good really , very high maintainance.

Pyrorocketeer Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Buffing them before clear would rub the compound down into the pores, and wouldn't allow the clear to stick. plus it would be too smooth for clear to adhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 That's kind of what I was thinking. You'd want a mildy rough finish for the clear to stick. I'm not sure how to go about clearing and getting the polished look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrorocketeer Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 i dunno how you'd do that.... cause you want it shiny, and not rough.... but then again, when you color sand base coat, then clear it, it shows up shiny, and not dull..... humm.....

Ben. Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 ummm yeah? I hate chrome lipped rims with black inlays. I'd prefer either straight black, or straight chrome. Thx. Yea, look at my truck m'kay. Chrome all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's because the clear fills in the minor scratches from the color sanding on the base coat. I wonder if it would do the same on polishing if you stopped at a lower grit.....(does that make sense?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 alluminum same pyro have seen it done. it conducts electricity fine. obviously. and you guys are right , i didnt explain good enough. you cant clear the wheels after sanding them with that fine of paper. if your gonna clear them , the clear your using will specify up to how high a grit it will stick too , but a good rule of thumb is 800. no higher than 800. and your right hung , clearcoat will fill in the 800 scratches. its best to bake them as well , cause clear coat actually flows after its applied. plus baking it makes for a much more durable finish. they wont chip as easy. and if they do get chips , sections of paint wont fall off , it will stay a chip.
