Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5
Thanks guys! Fast, good, and cheap work--Witt's Powdercoating has it all! Day and a half turn around and that was only 'cause I wanted white. Satin black would have been same day. Center caps are mostly polished, just need paint detail. Mounting up soon :chevy:

The hubcaps needed a little TLC--this is tedious and time-consuming, but rewarding work. These are the stainless caps--not going for a full mirror polish--just knocking the dents out and getting them back to 'factory' look. I used my favorite satin-black-in-a-can, VHT epoxy, and Rustoleum Sail Blue. The black is a little too shiny and the blue a little too bright, but I think it'll do :)

Perfect with the dog dish hubcaps!
Amazing what just a "wheel change" can do. |

Definitely run those dogs... they look perfect on the white pc'd wheels.
This thing looks amazing!!! What tools did you use to remove the dents in the caps? Care to elaborate on the process? |

I used a body hammer set, but instead of a dolly, I used a piece of 4x4 timber. Go slow, work the dent out from behind, leaving it a little proud. Then you can wet sand it smooth, graduating sandpaper grit to your desired level of polish. These are stainless, so I could use this process--can't sand chrome. They aren't perfect, but they look pretty good for the amount of time I have in them. Like anything, perfection takes time... Posted via Mobile Device |
