Fastassbanshee96 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Not too sure on how you would go about doing that but post some pics when your done with it. I'd like to see how it turns out. Sounds like it would look pretty sweet when it's all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastassbanshee96 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hell yeah that's sweet. I did a bunch of sanding and polishing on mine, but I did everything by hand. All wet sanding in multiple gritts and polishing by hand. It sucked ass. By the time I was done my finger tips were bleeding. Even the rims were done by hand and the fronts were the stock gold rims. I sat there for a real long time sanding that sit off before I found out there shit that will strip off the anodize. There's still a few small scratchs in some stuff cause I got pissed off with sanding so I'm going to get some buffing tools and go over some things this winter. There's pics in my sig in the photobucket link if you want to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already got dye grinders and bench grinders and shit just not wheels. Funds are kinda tight right now... I got laid off a while back and now I have a baby on the way so the wife has been up my ass about spending money. Expecially on the shee. She absolutly hates that thing. It's about every other day she tells me she going to sell it on me so I just keep her locked out of the garage. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
