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 07:58 PM. |

Stock sized 17x9.5 and 17 X11, will need spacers as these are GS offset.

Re: Project II: Dymag Refinish
Getting close to completion:

Then I need to get spacers, or steal =Jeff=s when he's out of town. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC02454.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...f/DSC02453.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...DSC02452-1.jpg And yes I'll get the garage cleaned up right after I get the wheels done so get off my  ! Sorry, alittle defensive been listening to my wife complain all winter about the aluminum shavings from the porting project, and the "paint smell" in the garage.....if I hear "God does that smell" one more time when she comes into the house from the garage.....to the moon Alice, to the moon!LGAFF 92 ZR-1 #234 |
