Project II: Dymag Refinish
As some of you know I picked up these Dymags IIs for a few hundred bucks, they were painted charcoal metallic, over what appears to be a black primer underneath. The inside of the barrel is still the factory silver, and upon scuffing the paint I noticed that the factory finish was still underneath.
On this particular rim there really are no nicks that get into the magnesium. So after scuffing I shot the wheels with Zinc Primer, then with some Wurth Wheel paint and will see how the adhesion holds up. I will be getting a product called Prekote next week which is EPA friendly and is used to seal magnesium....simply spray the prekote, rub it with scotchbrite, rinse, dry..primer and paint. I am not going to disturb the factory finish just seal any bare metal. Namely where the hubs mate. Here are the test pics... http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC02450.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC02451.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC02448.jpg LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 Last edited by LGAFF; 05-04-2008 at 08:58 PM. |
