Kenny,are you able to strip 5 star pony rims?
Yep they should be cake compared to these.
I think the turbines would make a comeback if they looked like that.
Can you do plastic? Like say set of mod motor valve covers?
What about a set of welds? Alwyas thought my welds would sweet in a gun metal or black crome.
I have wanting to do something in black chrome and a set of Welds would be perfect. For best effect it would be best for you to polish them all pretty first as that powder is a translucent so the more polished they are the better they look.Quote:

Cameron I have not tried a set yet but I would think that they would hold up to curing temps just fine.Quote:

BTW Awsome Work !!!
WOW that looks awesome! nice work. :bigthumb
I've tried that stuff and it is just nasty messy to use. I have some stripper that is less messy and does a nice job it just that factory wheels usually have some pretty hard coatings. I just want it so I snap my fingers and they are clean.Quote:

Well I was gonna do the lip in chrome but could not resist doing the red. Its not perfect as I forgot to mask off the hole for the valve stem and some powder made its way thru. Nothing a little sanding and buffing won't cure. Oh well let me know what you think.

I've got a set of 4V valve cover I would like to try it on. PM me a price.Quote:

I've got an idea for some wheels and just curious if it is possible without screwing up the finish of the remaining area.
Jesse its not too hard, you have to work a little harder than regular paint. Depending on what exactly you want done a angle grinder w/ a roloc pad works real nice.

I read you have Black Chrome Kenny. It would be towards the bottom of the list. But I'm interested if some of it gets coated.
Will a 15x12 rim fit in your oven?
Not yet I'm waiting till I need several things to order at once so I don't get killed on shipping. The black chrome should be applied over real chrome or very polished aluminum to get the desired look and man it looks awesome when done right.Quote:

I can make a 15X12 fit.Quote:

Your gonna be in trouble if your wife finds out you have a job now!
I think I can handle the polishing part of it :D. Here we go again. Time to get out the ol' buffing wheel.Quote:
