I was thinking about sandblasting my rims on the 350 fourtrax, the previous owner painted them black. What are the rims made of, will i have to re-paint them or can i leave them natural??

 

The rims are steel and you will have to repaint them. They should sand blast easy...I like to use glass bead when I do my rims but sand does a decent job too. The metal will have a grey (flat aluminum) look if you have never seen it before. It will rust very quickly with out some paint. Some Tremclad or wheel paint would do a great job covering up the fresh steel.

 

LOL....I'm sorry I can't be of any help, but the topic of this post is hillarious... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

wow, i gotta get my mind out of the gutter...

 

I figured that would grab your attention....but seriously I wonder if i sprayed a clear coat over the bare metal. I like that flat aluminum look.

 

ya you could clean them up good with a sand blaster or what ever and then make sure the dust is all out of them and then you could get them powder coated. powder coating makes a real nice job and will not come off the rims.
