This year or next year

I'm the other way round, nearly immaculate wheels , but crap body in primer still

But then we've only just got the spray booth together in the workshop - well when I say spray booth, partinioned wall with plastic sheeting everywhere, a couple of heaters, wall flourescent lights and a very crude extractor van, that I still need to box in

Never know that might be ready next year too

Good luck Dicky, looks like you will be missing a few episodes of Eastenders mate (no bad thing) - just make sure they are all ready for Operation Zaius - dont want you going in with dodgy undercarriage what!

Get in there son. Can't beat a good few days hard labour.
Bring em over to Daves when you have rubbed them down and we can spray them with lacquer shiny shiny...

Better without lacquer - if you keep them clean As it lifts and looks bad over time -in my view anyway

[dickymint]

well i got round to washing and scrubbing it.......

blatant plug for the Polishing Company.



but still a long way to go.........

I found jewellery polish works well on mine.

I always found the best way of polishing & cleaning wheels was to not let them get like that in the first place

Yea Dicky a little bit often is much better than alot all in one go, you should be taken out to the garden and beaten with a wet cabbage for a week

Tin foils and super glue

[dickymint]

Up early this morning. First pass with a sisal wheel loaded with 80 grit.................



180 grit next then 300 grit - followed by 3 grades of polishing compound
