shurup Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Began the process of preparation for painting rims. The central part is painted in gold color, the shelf is polished. [video=youtube;8y-yER1bCYE] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat1991 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Is this painted or powder coated? Was it expensive to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat1991 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 What color was the powder you used? I don't have a machine to polish the rim like that. I might have to send them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â You can do the polishing with the wheel on the car, all one needs is to have the wheel spinning, use some 1500 & then 2000 grit wetpaper first & then polish with a buffer and some jewelers rouge.

shurup Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 As the car is white, and gold discs, may be it makes sense to replace the door logos on gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â That would be a personal preference, it's a matter of choice and nothing more, I took off all the badges (logos) from my car, personally I like *white on white* badges, but you do what you feel comfortable with, it's your car, there's no real *right or wrong*.

Â That has to come off first or you're just putting polish on the clear coating and doing nothing to the aluminum itself. Â Â (not to hijack a thread).................

Heartbeat1991 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I actually stripped the entire wheel and repainted the gold/black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
