I (really Kalah) took some time to "Rhino Line" the beauty ring part of my wheels as they have taken considerable abuse from the rocks; most of it was from our only visit to CB in the JK. I just recently rotated my spare on, which has never seen any rocks, so we have a baseline of what they looked like new. The first few shots are of the current state...
This is all the materials used in this little adventure of my wife. The red bag is 100% IPA that we used to get them clean, the Dremel was used to smooth out the rough parts where I'd torn chunks out so that we got a slightly smoother finished product. The sand paper we used to rough it all up to give the "Rhino Line" somewhere to grip.
Here's what they looked like new; the wife had already started taping it off though. Thankfully this was her project which gave me time to put the new motor in my winch and mount my fairlead. :rock:
Masking and painting shots; the first one was her first coat on the former spare
She's much better at this stuff, but I had to try... I wasn't near as good at it.:gak:
And here is the finished product. From a distance they look brand new again. Up close you can still see the chunks and rough parts but... Bah! That proves that it gets wheeled. :thumbsup:
And yes... Those little milled out spots to simulate the bead lock sucked to mask off, I actually had to bring the wife a few :beer: while she was doing those... Usually she's bringing em to me. :ya:
My apologies for any typos or little happy face things that didn't come through. Too lazy to type this up over and over so I was doing the copy and paste thing.
