| anyone have any experience doing this ? I've got it pretty much down pulled out the face, gonna sandblast powdercoat that so thats ok
now the lip is the tough part, of course i can do it by hand but my fckin arms are tired from sanding
theres some oxidization and light scratches in the wheel, very slight curbs on each wheel that i can sand out for the most part, i started with some 600 grit, and am working up to 1500, then buffing with compound and repolishing...
just wondering what kind of air/electric sanders everyone out there is running, possibly with a face that contours to the rim and any kind of polishing liquid.
the barrels are aluminum by the way
thanks | |

| Call around and see if you can get anyone to polish the barrels, its fast work for someone with the right tools.
Google a place called destruction warehouse, another member had them do a set of wheels that came out very nicely. | |

| Vin does them for about $30 per wheel.
My 19s look amazing after he was done with them. | |
