Does any one have photos of the stock ds wheels that have been polished. I just ordered a polishing kit
And i have the paint stripper , I wouldnt mind seing the results others have got before I go beyond the point of no return

 

i take it you have the baja wheels? if you do the paint stripper will not work. i used some very bad stuff on mine did not work at all. you know when you spray it on and it mists on your hand and it burns bad!!! so i just used a grinder to take paint off then sand paper. long long process!!! no pics

 

Its a waiste of time. I got mine powder coated with a color called near chrome and then clear coated. It looks real good.

 

Thanks for the replys
They are not the baja wheels just the plain ds650 ones.

I do not have the option of chrome effect powded coat Know one does it over here, well not a price it wouldent be cheaper to buy new wheels any way, but i have seen photos of it elswhere and it looks good.

the stripper i have is for removing yacht varnish and laquer if that dont shift it it must be some sort of plastic powder coat, I already have a set of douglass rears so it might be less hassel just to get some fronts.

Any other pinions ?

 

I would just buy some new rims. They are not very expensive.

I got mine on ebay It was the UK site but im sure they will be on us ebay as well

I polished my stock wheels. Took for ever to strip the 3 coats of paint bombardier uses on them. First you strip a clear coat, then you strip the fake chrome looking coat, then a dark grey primer. For all the time it took I would have rather went out and bought a set of new Douglases...Yes it took that long. I can post a pic if you like?

 

I used Mothers Alum. Polish it works awsome. look at my picks the one that says DS slamed has my front rims just polished w/ mothers. remind you these are the stock 2000 rims. a little work but well worth it. if you use mothers polish keep the cloth fresh as possiable. keep turning it cuz the cloth will get black.

Did those wheels have the paint on them before you polished them ?
