i had mine media blasted... but before i mount them again just wondering if i need to clearcoat them or anything?
are these magnesium or aluminum?Comment

They're aluminum and to be safe I'd clear coat them

they'll corrode if there is no clearcoat or something to seal them. Honestly, if you can swing it I'd consider clear powdercoat rather than just rattle can. It should hold up better.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

These were the the ones you guys were talking about at Scottfest..Originally posted by MrMarquis View PostHere are my restored turbines. SVT98t powder coated these for me. They are a wine/silver tutone and I have a matching set of five.
Come spring, the white walls will be cleaned up and the turbines will go on.
Damn, they came out nice.__________________________________________________

Mine have been holding strong for almost ten years now. I sanded mine with 320 grit wet. It was a pain! I put plain old black spray paint on from Duplicolor. I then used thinner on the edges then followed with 600 then 1000 grit. I just polish every six months or so.
I originally wanted to polish the whole wheel but the factory charcoal proved too tough. I was going to polish the ends of the fins but I decided I liked the blackout look. No regrets here.1990 Country Squire - weekend cruiser, next project

I just finished mine up last Friday. What a job. Most of the charcoal color in the spokes was good, but a few spots needed some touch up. Mixed some graphite wheel paint, along with some semi-gloss engine enamel. Matches almost prefectly.
The bare aluminum is sanded with 150 grit, then clearcoated with some spray can clear.
Still a bit of pitting from an old wheel weight, visible at the top of the wheel. Would have had to remove a bit of material to get rid of it completely. They look pretty good from just a few feet away.

Those look great hi-fi, I have a lead on a guy who does powder coating cheap way out in the sticks.
I have to wait a month or so to contact him as my daughter is getting married in three weeks.
Put a real strain on the fun money!
