picked up a set of 5 wheels,
i will be doing a full size spare setup in the trunk.
i still have to use rouge and a buffing wheel to bring them to the final mirror finish before i clear coat them. im going to use vht high temp clear on them as i hear it wont run or haze up.
the 90 project will be going under the knife soon within the next week as long as i can get my audi finished. ill be building a 6 pt roll cage and painting it the same color as the wheels.
that looks very nice. will look even better when they’re polished. good job!
I never really cared much for those wheels, but I’d rock them like that for sure
I agree with above. Post em up mounted when you get around to it. That looks pretty cool for sure.
I like!
thanks! i hit the face and lip today with some red rouge and an angle grinder. ill post pics on monday. mirror finish now makes the previous pics look dull.
Get them mounted! haha
sick bro!
Finish them with white rouge if you have the means, it leaves a much better shine than red/brown/green rouge.
And, ANY paint will run if you put it on too thick… That being said, VHT do make awesome products. Definitely keep us posted on the results, I think they will look awesome.
Well done, that looks really good.
Those look great! Fantastic work
i used the red for a rough cut, as there was still a little bit of threading from the wet sanding, but ill use the white for a filnal cut.
has anyone heard of or used the product called masters polish “sealer” my professor is absolutly against clearing anything thats been hand polished. hes a machinest by trade and says that hes used this with amazing results, as in he didnt have to re-polish for about 2 years.
I’ve never used it before, but he has a valid point… Spraying clear on something that’s polished will make it very likely to peel. Paint/primer/clear all need a more rough surface to adhere to, the scratches help the paint and stuff stick better, they ‘grip’ the scratches. So trying to clear or paint something that is polished is difficult because the paint has nothing to grip to.
i was also weighing the idea of powdercoating the wheels with a clear, but i dont want to risk losing any of the mirror finish ive put the time into to get, also for the price i think going with the polish/sealer is a better idea, partly because the powdercoating will cost 5x more than the wheels haha.
Those came out really nice! Can’t wait to see them on the car. Good job
I have a set on my DB1. Haha i’m thinking about polishing em too. I’m just always lazy.
now to clean up the copper and give them a seal polish. and then do 3 more and mount them up!!!
Those look great! Nice work.
finished product pretty much.
get those mounted up! they look so sick!
