Looks great by the way

That's exactly what i was wondering if it were possible! It is hard to believe that those beautiful shiny lips were under all that disgusting black paint!!!
Very nice!

[River]

Yes do tell - how did you do that? I was looking at chrome rims, but if it's already there under the OEM paint, I'll save $800!!!

[crazymofo]

LOL!! its piss easy, cant beleive you folks sometimes lol

get some good quality masking tape mask off the center section, and then apply some decent paint stripper, wait 15min.. scourer off, grab ya fave alloy polish, and then get buffing biatch! with in a couple of hours you should see results like pitbulls.


nice work blkpitbull, looks trick. black bike with polished lips= sh!thot!!


cheers.joe.

Do you leave yours wheels on?

[teddy]

I did mine with wheels still on the bike, tires still on the wheels, just use plenty of tape to not get stripper everywhere you don't want it. crazymofo is right, it's simple as all get out, just takes some time and a little elbow grease

Looks awesome blkpitbull!!

[blkpitbull]

Yes its VERY easy. Use good masking tape, a good paint stripper, and take your time masking it off to get that strait line. The stripper may get under some of the masking tape. You just need some touch up paint to match your wheel centers and touch up any spots. EASY. And my wheels stayed on the bike!

Thanks BTW!

Oh and it took me about 4 hours from the moment I put the bike on the stands till finish polishing!

[blkpitbull]
