Polished my TC rims

After a while of having my wheels a gunmetal color, the paint was flaking and chipping off. Decided I'd do what I wanted to do before I painted them. I got to it and actually enjoyed it and here's the outcome. Pretty sure I'm the first Imp Blue Balt to have polished TC wheels too.

Not right now. I just finished polishing them last night at 8 and just wanted to put them on the car. Todays been raining on and off to clean or get any good pics of them and the only time it was decent out was this morning when I took these, but this weekend I'll be sure to get more. I got a ton of compliments on them already today though. Pretty happy with the results.

Not necessarily hard, just time consuming. I have about 8-9 hours in removing the paint and sanding them and then about another 2 hours in polishing them.
