thanks man thats cool
i just wanted somethin completly different
i might end up clear coating the red to make is glossy
still not sure..
and if anyone has ideas on what i should do with the centercaps please give me ideas
painting them red might make it to much red
so i dont know opinions pleassse

i cant go back now
i have this image in my head and i cant change it
the idea is that when there rolling it will be reflecting red everywhere
if i dont like them when i put them on the ill change it but for now
it will stay

[MachNU]

still the same as the day i got em.
straightness wise

[thinkskater]

looks like good work.

[NAG2I]

looks like good work.

thanks dude
do you clear coat yours when your done polishing them?

[thinkskater]

thats something im afraid to do. seems like anything u put on it makes it like hella lot less shiner. so i havent figured out a way to "coat" it with anything. zoop seal is the only thing i heard that works. or just straight up nano wax with the carnuba. thats it. u find out something let me know.

im about done with this process im tryin out
i just put down a good bit of coats of clear coat
and im gonna sand that down with 1500 again and buff it again
not sure how it will turn out ill let you know
and thanks for the input

[cactusEG]

[JDMjoe]

Looks good man, jon told about em. :goodjob:

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

that red throws it off, other than that the wheels look good

[KPowerEP3]

I like them, red and all. As far as the centercaps go, I'd leave them out. Axle nuts FTW.
