the wheels were painted yesterday, and he sent me some pics!!

first some words from him about the work he did, absolutely cant wait to pick them up next saturday and begin assembly

took about 5 hours, took my time...

also a little on what i did to the wheels... after red scotch brite'ing all the bare metal i ended up machine sanding the spoke faces with 320 grit discs to get out any marks and scratches. then after i set up all the stuff i wiped down all the metal with gun wash thinners.

the light gray primer is 1k etch primer that i over thinned with normal reducer to use as a wet on wet. wet rubbed the center caps with 800 grit (prep washed) then gave them a coat of adhesion promoter to guarantee the base color to stick. then sprayed color and rubbed out any bits of junk in hte color before putting the last coat on. then cleared everything. also full 10 minute flash off between coats or clear.

the black is 40% black 2k and %60 matting agent (or there abouts), then 2:1 with hardener and 20% thinners. think i put 3 coats of the black as after i put in the matting stuff it had no strength/coverage. took a fair couple full wet coats to cover. matter of fact when i thought i was done i went and inspected them only to find the etch primer peeking through at me in certain places. so i had to mix more and give it another coat. hopefully by monday it will have dulled off a bit more. i left it to dry naturally, no bake cycle. paint jobs always look better if you let them sweat on their own instead of force drying.

ok, some pics. you'll have to wait another week or 2 for proper pics of the colour

centers and inner barrels are at painters, hes planning to paint this saturday, and i'l pick up next saturday.

[hakhawk]

seeing as colour is 99% chosen, i need to get these things ready for paint.

~3/4 of the way done. tomorrow i should get the rest stripped



had to throw a lip and barrel on one of the completed centers. glad i dont need to strip the center caps.
