Mike Buff rim question?

(1/4) > >>

hokuspokus74:
Am going to be stripping my mike buff's there like an off white/creamy color....Am wondering is there anyway that they can be brought up to be white,would bleaching work or what other way can it be done or even can they be brought up white etc?

Cheers

glenboy:
They are an off white colour from new not white sort of an ivory colour in sure bleaching would bring them up but they won't every be white white as they were creamy white from new best thing I found to clean them was a scouring pad and a powder cleaner like vim (showing my age there)

hokuspokus74:
Yeah an ivory colour mate they are i had them on a white haro but just didnt look right and the missus even said it didnt go lol
VIM  :LolLolLolLol: now we are going back a few years now,even i remember it  :D

dancetothedrummersbeat:
My Mike Buff rims had been lightly sanded by their previous owner to brighten them and remove minor scratches. This destroyed the Mike Buff signature/Z Rim logo, but they came up a nice bright almost white. Maybe shave a very thin layer off, then buff (pardon the pun) with 1000/1500 wet & dry paper

pickle:
i always think they look better as they were, the same with old white Tuffs.  much prefer them left a creamy colour from age rather than bleached
