Re: sidewinder

It's looking awesome man...although, if it were me I'd stick with black tires and blue ano parts.

I've got an email out to a friend who knows the scoop on the shiny side sanding process.

That pawn shop is really overpriced. Id rather buy new stuff than go there to buy something used for the same price.

Man you weren't kidding, that color scheme looks like it'll be exactly the same, should look real good.

I know when i saw it the first time I said "hey! that's what I was thinking!"

Hey chimichanga, you do nice work! Looking forward to seeing it all together.

Here's what my friend said about creating the shiny side rims...

On something that's not very rough I go 400, 600 then mothers aluminum polish. I use a black and decker mouse sander for sanding and polishing so I don't wear out my hands. This is where I picked up alot of good information.

You can polish fine scratches out of chrome by just hand sanding with 600 then polish. It sounds scary to sand on chrome but it works. I did it to my MX II and it was a huge improvement.

Just like Socal_Jack and your bike, mine is blue with red tires and has the same paint scheme, minus the gloss. I had not seen yours or his before.
