Rim Refurbishment

[Genchaos]

Got some new tires so I felt that my rims needed cleaning up.

Step 1: Get some rims, make sure you remove or tape up the valve stems.

Step 2: Get some paint stripper and paint it on till you see bubbling then take a hand scrapper and start peeling the paint off and make sure you wear gloves cause it does burn the skin

Step 3: Get a really gorgous wife and have her use a power tool while you sit back and watch

After the grinding

*No way am I showing you guys the other pics and vid i got *

Step 4:Get some bedliner in a spray can and spray the wheel down so it looks really good

You could stop here or if you want a differant color, let the bedliner dry then spray with your choice of color.

Ummmmm

you left out the part where you pull the old valve stems and put in new because they are old and just got a good dose of paint stripper to make sure they get hard and leak

 

[Genchaos]

Fixed

I dont think you should spray the bedliner on the bead seats, it may cause air to leak out. JMHO

 

[Genchaos]

I thought about that too but it's rough surface that the tire will cling too. If it does affect it i will grind it off

There's a fine line between being revealed and reviled... I think you just blurred it.

Your wheel color is awesome though... I like it!

You do have some mexican in you dont you?

 

[Genchaos]

O.k so sometimes I misspell a word or two, nobodies perfect, I'm close but not there yet

You guys really like it? It's pretty bright. But we found out what color the other parts are and are probably going to repaint them.
