Dang, that's a lot of sanding.

Winter sucks. Are you going to redo them in bronze? Or maybe try somethin' different?

davedavetc def. did it right. Using the most abrasive to the least plus the really fine sanding between clear coat really makes them shine. I'll say this, although I'm really a no body on this forum as of now. The amount of work you put into your wheels defines what you'll get out of them. davedavetc's turned out so well because of all that sanding. Trust me if you wanna "shine" and do it right thats the way to go! And please for god's sake clear coat. Make em' last longer...

Thats just my 2 cents, best of luck! you got this...!

If you have a white tC, I bet it will look nice if you paint your wheels orange.

Tell her the Captain of Laziness said they look hot. If she still says they look "rusty" and are "bad looking" lemme talkt to her, I'll set her straight.
