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
ive never seen a pair of zeds look this white, they came up mint...but...
then i dyed em blue
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

nice1 del, alot of prep went into them, though ive just noticed my camera settings on black and white for the just scrubbed clean shot
they did come up really white and i was going to leave them but they had some bad stains on them which i couldnt get out, and id already planned on dyeing them, im glad i did as they look mint
