Restored my rims
« on: February 15, 2014, 06:17:43 PM »
Here are a couple of pics of my rims and hubs...bead blasted everything then straightened, body worked, primed, blocked and painted with DuPont Choma-base/Clear coat...I used a 1970 Ford color-code 4878 meadowlark yellow-They look great![/img]

The bitterness of poor quality, lingers long after the sweetness of low cost!

Way to go on those rims!  And the striping will add that final touch. Blast cabinets are priceless.
