Hi guys and gals! So I've decided to upload some more of my work to YouTube, please tell me what you think!

Nice job refinishing those. They looked very abused, as they should be! Also, I'm not sure what disk you used to grind down the rash with, but they seemed a little ruff. There's a grinding wheel called a flap disk that finishes the metal down really nice and smooth. Just a tip, it could possibly save time on the sanding part; that is, unless that's already what you're using ;) Keep up the good work and videos, I have a couple in the mix myself. I think they're more enjoyable then scrolling through a page of pictures. Oh, and good song!

Ninja edit: Don't know if you used just generic Bondo brand to fill those defects, but if so check out Evercoat's Metal Glaze. It works very well on any metal, including aluminum, feather edges very nice and will outlast Bondo brand by miles. I use it on every filler job (Evercoat Rage or Metal to Metal) as a great skim coat.

Thanks buddy! Yeah I would have used a finer disk but that's all we had in the shop :(. This was an experimental project anyway because there's about 50+ more rims in storage that need love like that :). The others probably won't get the attention that those did though... these just had to look like new for a photo shoot and they'll probably be back in the same condition within a couple of months :).
