Hey anybody out there think about stripping the paint off of their wheels and polishing them up . I think it would look sweet, but it could turn out to be alot of work . :throwup
Lockhart Philips FLUSH MOUNT IV's and the size is medium.MadChild said:Hey IIIII, I also have a 04' R6. I was just wonder were did you pic up the flash mounts on your bad boy. Thanks a lot, if you can respond ASAP
Took me about an hour and most of that time was spent masking the areas i didnt want stripped. Dunno what that guy was talking about.BRAVO said:i was thinkin about it then i saw a guy who had it done and he told me about all the cleanin involved so i changed my mind
Masking tape. And a tip is to not leave the Aircraft Paint remover on for too long. The can says 15 mins, but if you do that then the paint will seep under the masking tape and remove paint where you dont want it removed. I did my passes at 5 min intervals.cleanate810 said:hey IIIII how did you take off the paint on the sides of the wheels and not the middle or spokes? that looks sweet and i want to try it.
Yours is definitely alot shinier than mine. Looks damn good man. Mine do have the parrallel grooves that you are talking about. Closer pics of mine to show others who are interested in this mod to see what we are talking about. Excuse the dirtyness.Jeffsy said:IIIII, does the rims have machining marks under the paint or are they smooth?
When I did the lips of my 2000 they had machining marks under the paint which I had to sand out using 120-2000 grade sandpaper & then polish them up to look shiney.
Took me a whole weekend to sand & polish mine.
Heres what mine look like.
