Coming along nicely!

 

Thanks,
The rears were a little easier than the front (less brake dust back there) but they're still a pain in the arse. I'm taking a break right now but I'm final polishing the lip of that rear, I'll take pictures again if it's a big enough difference to see in a photo. I'm going to try to take one of my centers up to get painted on Monday and will mount it to decide if it's the right color whenever I get it back.

And again, the second post has been updated, since most people won't read that at the bottom of page three.

 

So, what did you decide on?

I ordered some of that ridiculously expensive Swissvax "Autobahn" wheel wax from Detailer's Domain. God I hope it works, it was bloody expensive for that tiny little container of the stuff. I'll let you know how that works out - monitor the wash and wax area.

 

I always monitor wash & wax. I might just order some of that stuff too, it's about the only "normal" product I don't have yet.

 

Updated again with some comparison shots.

 

I've been searching around for the perfect color... and then yesterday my buddy shows up at work with this helmet:





This is almost exactly the color I'll be going for.

 

The lips definitely need a polish but they don't look too bad the way they are now.

 

Ok, my first wheel is getting painted and should be ready for pickup by the middle of next week.

I went with a factory Honda color (just cuz) Iron Grey Mica, in a semi gloss finish. We'll see how it turns out.

 

Somewere on here I saw a pic were the rear of the wheel was polished too.Look prety cool IMO

 

I'm considering it actually. I'm just nervous about the upkeep.
