[DML] Re: wheel sandblast

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

Ralf,

Being Alloy..the wheels wont rust, they would just go milky white and start
corroading..if you had your wheels blasted and just left them like that.

. If you then had them clear laquered, without first polishing them, they
would look rather like "silver painted sandpaper".

Like most things, it requires a lot of effort to get something to look
"right"..(.Metal fininhing / Chrome plating , on old car parts is what I do
for a living)
