Iron-X Doing it's thing

**LegacyGT** · 12-31-2011, 05:57 PM

These are the OEM rims that came with my car, which have been demoted to be my winter wheels mounted with Blizzak snow tires. They get cleaned but not a lot of love. Today I decided to paint them up with some plasti-dip spray (thread coming later) but before that happened I needed to clean and decontaminate them. I was a bit shocked at how much iron they had in them, so without further delay here are some good bleeding pics:

And a sneak peek of the painting:

It's black, the Halogens throw off the white balance, but since it is a detailing thread I dont make color corrections.

Funny, I sprayed some on my wheels expecting the same thing, I was surprised how little iron my wheels had considering I do nothing special to them to keep them clean, other than wash them when I wash my car. I had a purple drip here and there. Cool stuff though.

Yup, I just went through four cans, coated my front grill and my winter tires.

It is one of those things. I have had cars that I thought would be super contaminated that didn't bleed a bit, and well kept cars that bleed out everywhere in a code-blue fashion. No matter these wheels obviously had a ton of iron in them.
