My 98 GP SE and what ive done to it

[heavydtheogre]

sandblasted 1 1/2 rims today - and these are not 5x115 they are 5x114.3 - found sticker in the rim and manufacture date.

OK this is not mine, just showing what my bro does.
Mine are 7 spoke, and going to be white.

monday, im going to see if i can finish sandblasting, so the powdercoat can be put on.

 

[heavydtheogre]

Got these inthe mail today

 

[heavydtheogre]

OK powder coated the first rim - and last pics is after clearcoat

 

[gtpeddie]

looks good! is that you?

 

[heavydtheogre]

no thats my brother.

and the rims should look better when i take pics with my camera and not my phone.

 

[gtpeddie]

how long does it take to do a rim

 

[E IN v Y]

Rims look good boss.

 

[heavydtheogre]

how long does it take to do a rim

the sandblasting or just the powdercoating?
Powdercoaring is 1 hour without clear - add 25 min for clear - and most of that time is sitting
sandblasting is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours per rim - and thats because the 3 coats on the rim from manufacturer

Oh and the blue patch on the rim is tape to cover the concept seven logo - might leave it silver.

 

[heavydtheogre]

and usually my brother sends the rims out for blasting, cause of the time, but i have the time.

Oh, this is in a stainless cup

There is nothing wrong with giving your opinions, but there is a way to do it with some tact guys. If you're not digging what this guy doing, and you feel the need to act like a prick, do the OP a favor and just move along. Thanks.
