haha, yea im kinda pissed off bout that, its is scratched because some jackass sanded it before. I didnt know this untill i got the paint off. I havnt touched them with anything but stripper yet. But now i have to polish em all out b/c someone didnt know what they were doin i guess. O well it will be worth it in the end :D

i wouldnt clear them if they were mine, but thats just my opinion.
clear coat will dull, flake, bleh. polished though, grab up some nevr dull in the can from advance/autozone, keep them wheels clean and like, once every week up to once a month, pull out a little nevr dull (it comes as impregnated cotton batting), rub them down and whipe it off with a lint free / microfiber towel, looks like new. its like waxing them, wax on, wax off. i do it to the lips on my wheels, one of which has a spot of clear left on it that looks like ass.
nice job on the wheels either way though, they look good.

What did you spray on them?
Mr. Clean
03-25-2008, 06:30 PM
looks really good man... like everyone else said... after smoothing them out they will look great. compliments the crazy orange pretty nicely.
but gloss black is always an option...
