fancy weldings will not be the biggest problem I guess, THe guy who I am always working with in his shed.. is a Car- repainter /repair-guy for 25 years now..

thats a bit of a disapointment that FRP is indeed Fiberglass where I was afraid of.. and not urethane-plastic ( PU)

not that I am planning to hit some things, but whe I do.. I need to fix it..
Looks like that the colour will be a verry Standard one.. I am afraid..

to bad... had a nice Motorcycle coulor in mind.. a Harley davidson coulor.. verry nice one .. but actually most Motorcycle coulors are Candy coulors (with Inkt for the deep and bright effect)

Pics Up tonight.. Big Grin

I did 3 rims last night..

but things went bad Sad

sandblasting wheels with 8 bar of pressure wont do good for the vieuwing glass...

It went matt / white Wink so needed to fit a new one..

2 wheels were in verry bad shape with lots off oxidation on it... and paint shivers.

the machine got stuffed of that junk, so this morning I cleend that thing out.. and hope to redo the last wheel I did yesterday, and to blast the 4e wheel today..

But the wheels that are done, look perfect!!
Now lets see how to pollisch them!!

i'd spray the whole wheel black, and them take them to someone with a lathe and turn them down a bit, no way you can get those things polished to a mirror shine without HOURS of sanding

yes, i wouldn't have sandblasted the wheels if you want to polish them. The surface is pretty rough after sandblasting.
I have done the same procedure to my wheels and then the guy who polished them said that it would be better if i stripped the paint.

but now, i'd say take them to a wheels shop
it's a painful job if you do it yourself


cheers

You can machine them yourself, jack the car up, put the wheel on, start the engine, put em in gear, put your sandingpaper against the wheel et voila Big Grin
