??polish stock rims??

[boardmaster272]

would i be able to polish the stock rims on my blaster????

 

[blasterjarred]

yea u would have to shoot a clear on it tho

 

[245stroker]

its going to be ALOT of work to polish your stock steel rims. you'd be better off getting a set of aluminum rims

 

[blasterfreek30]

^lol i polished two sets of stock front wheels, before i finally got aluminum ones

 

[specialized7]

anyone ever use drill attachments for polishing?
if so what ones?

 

[boardmaster272]

how would i polish them?

 

[blasterfreek30]

i used a palm sander and every grit known to man, then steel wool for about 6 days round the clock, but came out pretty good

 

[daniel3877]

id have em sand blasted ...if you hand sand em or use a wire wheel or something youll be there all day !!! what may work ggod is one of those little palm size mouse sanders(home depot), they have the point on the end...like the other bro said make sure ya spray some clear on em, theyll rust like over night if ya dont !

 

[boardmaster272]

how long does it take to do it?? haha

 

[daniel3877]

not sure... i bought alum...sand blasteing your stocks would take about ten min tops. id look into that if ya have any conections...hand doing it would take a while but hey...im sure you could make a day project out of it..,.i have that little hand held mouse sander that i bought from home depot and i have done allot of sanding with it, sanded half my snowmobile trailer in a day !!! just depends how much time ya wanna out into it..

Like blasterfreek30 said about 6 days around the clock=))
You have to realize that steel is very very very hard compared to aluminum which makes polishing very difficult. You might want to consider powder coating them with a chrome powder coat or as said before get aluminum wheels they polish much easier.

in the time that you spend polishing your stock wheels you could work that long at a job and make enough money to buy aluminum ones. i dont think its worth it.

for polishin on a drill i use a mothers power ball

 

[ruthless_one3k]

HAHA, I dont think that power ball is gonna cut it for polishing steel

 

[REEDracing94]

idk i never polish steel lol...for aluminum i sand with alot of diff stuff then polish with that

 

[blaster20001]

did u decide to try and do it?

 

[Paulie B]

IMO it's more trouble then it's worth.
The stock steel wheels polished will rust so fast and they will still be heavy.
I say wait till your tires are spent and go for one of those 'wheel and tire combos' Rocky Mountain ATV has.

Oh and powerballs won't polish anything that isn't polished already- sorry guy...

 

[boardmaster272]

im just gona get some aluminum rims haha thanks guys
