Got another lip done last week. Started back at school so progress will be slow.

I don't have a picture of my center in this lip...but I had my friends style 42 centers sitting in my basement, and I wanted to torment him (he's away for school and won't be back until October to finish his build) so here's that:

This lip looks a lot better than the first. Going over the first again soon.

Painted inner barrels Semi-gloss black. I think it cleans it up a bit.

Looks great thus far!

Posted in my Saab build thread. One is totally done. I went with painting the bolts black. I think it adds something to the wheel.

Wheels are coming along good.
Going to try to refinish a set soon. What did you end up doing with the bolts before painting?
I know you said soaked in coke and then tumbled with corn husk but did you end up tumbling them with anything else? I'm undecided on what colors but I do like what you did with the black. Did you just rattle can those?

Thanks.
Also: GOOD NEWS! I got good barrel. Friend of mine found a single wheel on Craigslist in a town he just happened to be in while picking up another set of wheels, and snagged it for me. Its rough, but at least it's not bent.
