Polished chrome rims. Part1 (shocking!)
Finally ready to address the important moment in the lives of many motorists:
WHAT TO DO WITH CHROME WHEELS?
How can I recover them?
This entry will open the curtain and answer many of Your questions.
Get ready to tell a story in several parts.
The process of restoring a 26" disc from ASANTI lasted 8 months!
Because - buckle up!
I have something to tell You:)
My friend Maxim came to me with one question: "will?""Machine serious, and shoes "a little" has kind":"Take"- I said!
All shelf drives had me these strange yellow spots under the chrome surface:at that moment I knew that the company ASANTI likes to cover the details of the disks in chromium:"What kind of wells?
What you brought home?"- wondered Jura UnikarmCenter discs do in chrome:Rims outside painted something yellow in the spray:On the rims of several disks were welds (profile rubber tends to zero and to the earth:)Spread the nuts and bolts and then disassemble the drives.
Heavy center falls itself, without hammer:)Drives dvuhmestnye.
Rim with flange are cast form:Shelf previously repaired "was premirovalis" by applying the substrate plating surface, which easily came off flaps:Now consider what I have to work in finding aluminum shelf?
1 layer - metallization
2 layer Polish thickness 1mm
3 layer grey ground
4 layer - is native Nickel shelves
5 layer - copper (Nickel substrate)
6 layer - our native aluminum!The presence of copper and Nickel, I realized that I have chrome removed by sandblasting.
What?
Pants the reader dry?:)
But I said to myself: "you're Rommers! Will do!"
The first item on the plan for the restoration of this amazing kit was a trip to the base to peskostrujka:Sand ruthlessly knocks down EVERYTHING!In addition to Nickel and copper, of course!Aluminium weld lighter.
Nickel dark gray:Oh!
This fall was still!
My kupeška:)
Favorite E36:)welding the cast shape of the discs is accompanied by a "boiling" of the body and the formation of pore - bubbles.
Seams to digest will need professionally:After you sand all 4 rims easily fit in the cabin С124 from Mercedes:
And now back to the first issues of the record?
How to repair chrome wheels?
Answer:
Just removing everything up to aluminum!
The only way to deal with them!
Because even the coating powder does not guarantee that the copper will not undermine the oxidized surface and will not lift the paint.
I have seen many chrome wheels 3-5 years of age who have chrome started to distend.
Open the polished rims I now love even more:)
About how to remove Nickel and copper will continue in the second part of the restoration of this set.

Read(or rather, repeated) sorrowful... Go with grief, will break. It's VERY bad, Shegini-ALL polished!
Still, my views on materials for polishing (as well as the extent of the work on polishing discs) is very "narrowed"

So, it's time to buy tools and supplies for polishing disks. And if Lacko to open? Because there is certainly such an option? In addition to the loss of the Right Sheen, what are the downsides?
Don't want chrome wheels! By the way, Roman, and Segina (05.img.avito.st/640x480/1672881905.jpg) polished originally from factory? Or chrome?
I want to bring myself to buy such...
We have guys that are all chrome off without damaging the aluminum. Chemists in short
the wheels of the factory were chrome
because the rim prisutstvuet Nickel and copper
chrome otpustili to me
if he was
it was OpenControl would I
(this entry will be
another one that is chrome set)
if I'm not mistaken, races on the discs lacquer then it is not chrome and is covered cerebellum solution and the yellow probably spraying the activator solution. that's why you peeled off that this technology is not for such items which are constantly in water, in dirt, etc.
With chromium lot of hassle, my wheels came with chrome middle, but the shelf polished, the middle was a small corrosion from their climate a little palerno and truncated, and here they are completely impractical in chrome somehow
We do not have in Novokuznetsk chrome plating, galvanizing only. And I forgot, still came unibit but do not believe.

Looking forward to the second part, the 20s polezshego sneaker from chrome.
Give them a defense plant, will do for a penny in for warranty for a year. So if you're 10 years guarantee will, then flown gravel in the wheels and clean the curbs have not yet abolished)
I am in no way trying to offend, just really do not understand 8 months. For example, a disc-grout and all things let week, let prepare for another week. Don't even know what to give him another month. But 8. And how much did you pay for it?
I have over 15 sets in simultaneous operation
I think that the reading of the remaining parts of the process will answer your confusion
Paid for the work and the result, as I understand it — there is not salary. Stretched and stretched, especially if the customer does not have designated deadlines.

it's good
you are a master of your craft
I don't paint during that time and 1 of the car:)
I'm sorry, but 8 months! ? In 8 months I'll make about 30 podkrashennym fully auto
Cool! in doing...so Many layers...
Further, I understand chemical means to remove ?
show what escalad 8 months of running, not on the bricks was :)?
Would you believe that this machine has a second winter set?
Don't know what kind of patience the owner drives, but I used such customer))) it is necessary to find out from him what he smokes and where he takes. Patience and nerves galore)))
for the author meet the author text:
"Welding the cast shape of the discs is accompanied by a "boiling" of the body and the formation of pore - bubbles.
The stitches will need to digest the professional"
why is it then, how would welding quality, load will be tremendous I would not put this drive myself (gas welder of the 6th p )
I know that is not allowed pores, bubbles, even on( the fence )it is considered a marriage, and especially on the wheel

Come tale to tell :-)

130 Euro stuff is new.
For racers there is the hull on the disks 10 eurorap per year, regardless of the model and are together in the pits to ride.
+1
Trust me, drives not the product which turn. If you do not have plants to purchase a particular model with such a figure, always find the drive is not more expensive than 100-150 euros apiece, regardless of size. There are different coupon promotion, there are companies that sell spare parts of bankrupt auto dealers, a lot of things.

This is one option at this price everything else is much more expensive...
Compact not complete. 3pc from the seller just. So the price is! Good wheels cheap cost will be. Work opravdyvaet cost. And if you buy if only che most importantly cheaper. These discs are of course consumables will
Acceptable! Was not expecting! Perhaps I will see myself what some disochki )))) such prices in this size have never seen. Exactly new?!

The disks 26 new radius are a little more than half the value of yours and mine Moena car, these guys come up with all these manipulations to restore. But another important role is played by the desire to do what others cannot, here we have a combination of the desire to save and a greater desire to do a quality repair on their own and usually these works are closer in value to the price for new wheels.
What do you have to still work cheap. In our area the discs are just consumables.

You read the article?
I have 4 years go for polished wheels
and I'm not alone
I have they do not fade
because I once a week pay as much as 20(who would have thought!) minutes on something that would be to clean them while the car vacuumed
what will you do if you hooked a chrome disc at the curb?
will remain to go
all
repair - zero
this is the main argument
and not in favor of chrome
again, you have the tool, etc.I don't think the owner of the Escalade will each week be given 20 min to the wheels.
You have patience probably only lasted the first two lines to read:)
And patamusha too late...:)
Chrome may not like it, may not like.
Simply no alternative.
Moreover, what is RIGHT galvanically plating chrome plating will cost...VERY expensive.
But the question is, what is EXPENSIVE and we will not do.
No one and nowhere.

then beg to argue
because my rationale here:
www.drive2.ru/b/1939939/
the same goes for chrome
my second machine is called a E36 AMG:)
it is not the body
this model was the name:)
the second part is already in the blog:)
come to the second part! and did not understand the joke with the e36? :D Meren's worth
is it not cheaper to buy new rims ? if several months took the job, I'm afraid to imagine the price of repair !
Mmmm... Rollers sure fire, size matters. The chrome is a pain in the ass. We have in for restoration are ready to take only students that have never done, but are confident in their abilities. Those who do painting, baking brothers don't want to say much bitter experience. And about the first part did not understand the joke...what's the shock? While only standard procedure to remove the old layer of sand...OK, move on to the second)
yeah the only downsides is that the zinc will fall as you got the drives now what OpenControl so he will fall
boiled disks in the world a lot
even the Germans cook them
not everyone is ready to buy a new set in the event of such damage
but there are also good welders
that repair these things
Written with the soul, but! To go to "cooked" ROM in itself is a big risk, what is still to recover do not understand.
well then read other entries about this kit
to determine their attitude towards me:)
very cool,
to do such work and give a guarantee not to "a few weeks"
you need to be either very honest or the last proidoha,
which unfortunately dwells not even in geometricheskoi progression...
Obazhaet such blockbusters)))) more Abruptly some movies even))) Waiting for part 2!
Seen in the center of the car and the owner. Discs are just huge, there are photos like.
identity is necessary to think and Slippers and a beautiful chrome look lost ... in ECX metalization do in the key a single disc 16 of a size five asking for money .
However... hats Off of course ! If only as a hobby, so in my spare time, for a friend ... But if this is seen as a real business : man-hours, etc. for the money you can new, gold plated 24карата, to buy, to choose from.
