resto day
« on: August 29, 2009, 08:36 PM »
been a busy lad today, first off a well hammered pair of z-hubs and redline cranks



loads of nitromors and scrubbing with wire wool and..

they're now ready for painting and re-chroming

next a pair of nasty looking white z-rims



scrubbed with cream cleaner, 120 grit sandpaper and 1500 wet and dry until my fingers bled and rubbed off my fingerprints :crazy2:



ive never seen a pair of zeds look this white, they came up mint...but...

then i dyed em blue >:D





I used 6 tubs of no.16 arabian knight dylon and 3 bottles of salt, they look a bit darker in real life. Im well pleased with how they turned out, cant wait to build em up now. I thank you gaz :daumenhoch:
