Sturg1647545502 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Got a set of wheels from rice paddy im going to throw on the DR. But before that happens they need to be sanded down and either painted or powder coated. either way, in regards to hand sanding, what grit should i start with and progress too? Tips? Tricks? Complaints, whines or bitches? thanks, ill hang up and listen from my radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 have them sand blasted. I was in contact with hoblick a while ago but i believe he sold his set up. Plus im starting a new job and have time to burn. Who here has a sand basting case that can fit wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Called the guys at wheel medic and they pretty much said if im going to have them professionally powder coated or painted that the price of prepping is included. Id just be wasting time and finger tips doing it my self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
