Re: how to polish

Re: how to polish

I just looked at your starting post.

Re: how to polish

Get the lips masked and blasted, then polish the lips. Or get the entire wheel blasted, and then re-paint or powdercoat everything else after the lips are polished. It's a lot easier to polish them if you don't have to worry about damaging the paint or powdercoat, so it's better to polish them before they're painted or powdercoated.
