Stage 3
Sanding and Fine Finishing:
For this stage you really need a sander, mask and googles - I'm using 60 grit paper first and then 150 as the rims have corrison and brake marks visible.
Keep the bed of the sander flat at all times, its important that you do not press on as you will burn your power tool out. ;)
In this picture you can see that most of the marks have been removed, the one nearest still needs doing (before and after shot :D)
For fine finishing you need, a block of wood, soapy warm water, gloves and wet/dry paper (360,400,800,1000,1200 - this is the order of use)
I tend to go round twice with each grade of paper, checking in turn for areas that require more attention. Keep the paper wet using the soapy water, this increases the life of the paper by stopping it from becoming clogged up.
This is the finish you are hoping to achieve -smooth as a smooth thing :crazy2:
Top one completed.
Bottom one completed.
Polishing Friday.. :daumenhoch:

Good update Sid :)
I used to use oOven pride till I came a cropper doing some"Hard annodised " Pro Class III rims :crazy2:
J.T Racing told me always use Caustic , big tub , big gloves and treat with respect .
You can have a pair of rims done in 15 mins usually , usually covered in black , mind :-\
then another 15 cleaning em up :crazy2:
might as well do them the patient,, revolvo , dippo , turn roundy treatment you do instead , much cleaner
The rims are looking good already ,,,it's all about the prep :daumenhoch:
jT Racing:
i use a mega strength formula, but i do loads of stuff at once. only takes a few seconds to remove. wash with a scouring pad in soapy water, then dry and on to whatever you are doing. easy peasy chris. Hard anno is just more anno. death strength caustic will eat your parts in minutes >:D
