I paid $150 a few months ago for my rear wheel powdercoat.
$100 is a good deal IMO.
And yes- you need a new camera!

I've got an extra set of 14 rims and that's what I was wanting to do the them, the polish lips look great.
Look forward to seeing them on the bike.
I'm thinking his pictures are blurry due to the time warp feature on his camera...........the date stamp is 2010........:-)

Well i have done alot of research on the subject of Aluminum polishing, and well according to the experts to get the best shine use a good quality polish for protection and final shine, this will usually last several months in good weather. I am not going to clearcoat it because it will dull the finish a bit, but then again you will never have to touch it again. I live in Al, i dont ride in bad weather unless i get caught in it, so just polish for me. The pics here are bare with no polish, i am gonna wait till tere on the bike to final polish.

Don't think they would be easier to polish off the bike? Also if your greasy hands touched them it would be easier to clean

Bud had a great thread in the 'How to' section of the old forum
on stripping the wheels. His project also looked awesome.
He doesn't seem to care about posting here though.

I agree Mass he did some wheels that looked awesome. In fact his bikes always looked awesome, just like Bobs  We lost some of the spice from the old board....Toe, Mongo , Bud just to name a few...hell even Captain came back after a year and a 1/2 lay off. I wish Kruz would post up here once in awhile. Maybe they'll drag there sorry carcasses over here
