0 GlossAngeles Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Dang those came out pretty nice! More info on the process please. For the bolts I used paint stripper to get the paint off. Then I put each bolt in a drill and held the head with 0000 steel wool. Then did the same thing with metal polish and a microfiber. For the lips I used paint stripper. Then sanded from 180 grit to 400 grit dry then 600 to 3000 grit wet. Then I used metal polish 1 and 2 on a microfiber applicator. Sealed with quick sealant, applied brilliant glaze and buttery wax.

0 JBlack151 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Awesome! They look sweet man. I'd be afraid of getting them dirty after all that hard work. Then I remembered you put some Quick Sealant on them (sigh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
