Boss's spare rims for the viper. Clear coat is starting to peel so he takes it to a place to have it bead blasted with plastic beads... I seen this coming, pitting and not a good finish what so ever. At least he stops and checks his work. Stops me yesterday and takes me to the rim to see what i could do with it... told him a price and brought it home.



Process..

I stripped the clear off with Tal Strip paint stripper, then had to sand with 1500 then 2000 wet sand paper. polished by hand with M105 and then Mothers with the power ball. Finished off with wheel wax





Here is what it looked like when i got to start on it.

Came out good. Remember to let the boss know that it is no long cleared / coated and he'll have to take better precautions when cleaning them.
