Thinking of polishing the ribs and lip on my Pedrinis, and painting the other part black, then covering it with clear. Anyone have pics of Pedrini or 4 lug Mahle with the ribs oplished and the rest black? Thinking it would look sharp, and save me a TON of time polishing, tried a search but no joy. Thanks

Tobra,
I did a search "pedrini" and turned up a post that I think will help answer your question. The post is titled "painting pedrinis, options please". I had a heck of a time getting the search function to work, and I'm sorry I can't get the direct link posted, but that thread has several pics of what I think you're after. |

Used to have Pedrinis with black backgrounds and silver details.
Always wondered what they'd look like with polished details and silver paint where the black was... pete |

Gregg-
I really really like the looks of the polished ribs/rims with the silver background. Do you know who did those? I wonder how hard that would be for me to do to mine... -TH |

Eastwood Garage has the tools and chemicals for a do it yourselfer. I have a box full of stuff to shine up some cookies. Most folks would polish the ribs, paint the rest and clear coat. I don't remember where I got the picture, but it looks good doesn't it? |

I actually like that better than what I was thinking of, more subtle. The motivation for polishing just the ribs, instead of the whole wheel was a labor saving one. You could polish where you wanted, mask it off, paint with the silver then clear coat. I don't dig the full polish thing(No offense Trekkor, too bling bling for my taste), may be why I like the Fuchs as they come, shiny petals, satin back ground. |
