Rehabbing rims
The rallye IIs on the elco were painted over without allowing for any kind of rust control. So i'm grinding them down,and spraying them in dark gray. (which by the way,i find wholly better looking then the blue they're painted.
I ground the rims down to bare metal,primed them,and painted them with five coats of paint and three coats of clearcoat. they look pretty alright to me.
This image is of the midpoint in the de-rustifying process. i used a wire wheel,an asphalt thing,and sandpaper to get everything looking smooth as glass.
I can't say the stuff stuck though,because there's yellowing around the side of it. makes me sick.
