#1 won't be restored?
The wheel finish i would prefer on these PDs would be like Neil30076's (don't know his full name) Bambus beige 1981 he has owned from new.
They are factory but anodized a black color. A pic on his car is in this Pelican Thread on the first page about half way down. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...highlight=neil
I think a black or close to black centered wheel with polished lip and accents would look best.
What do you think Jim?

I agree, i thought about that but decided to keep it as is.
I like the single stage too but it's more difficult to paint. Why it is no longer done in auto industry. Has a correct look for a '83.

As far as the wheels, Neil's 81s look great except I don't like the polished outer part of the rim. To me, for a race car it should be solid matte black. Great color tho.

I *think* what Jim is saying about #1 is that it will get a respray rather than try to polish up the existing paint.

That's good to hear about #1.
Regarding your opinion on the wheel finish; that sure makes it easier for me.
Those polished rings around the 5 wheel openings would be tough to pull off neatly in a reasonable amount of time.
But If i found a set like Neil's I'd use em in a heartbeat.

Worked from midnight til 2am last night sanding & putting on a second coat of sealer on the bumper covers.
Painted them a couple hours ago along with a few other items and the undersides of hatch and hood.
Got a nasty run in one of the headlamp covers which will need sanding with 320-400 and be re sprayed.
Pushing because rain a comin..

Looks like you need to get back to painting as you aren't done with the patio bench yet. ![ducking](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon107.gif)
Get too it and you could be all matchy sitting on your porch enjoying a good viewing spot for all of your hard work.
Looks great!

Upon staring at the eyelash in the roof paint and a few fish eyes that were deep i decided that i have one shot to do this 928 right and..
Wet sanded (w/600) the entire unit to remove all orange peel and the 'eyelash' in the roof paint. It did not meet quality control. I will respray 2 med wet coats on it soon.
But on a positive note the hood and 'ducktailed' hatch turned out fantastic as did the drivers fender. They are good to go.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the ducktail in primer, it looked incredible, no waves or imperfections. Very pleased.
Left to spray:
Unit body again. Ugh. PITA.
Passenger Fender + fender hardware
Both doors + strut brace bolts (in gulf bl)

11pm prep (cauke door seams behind upper door window trim w/ 3M auto body sealant. Good stuff.
Prime remaining parts and painted hardware; fender bolts and other.
Night priming gets me a jump on tomorrow's finishing up.
I will be able to sand and fill in more primer as necessary and be ready for paint before it gets too hot.
Supposed to be 91F tomorrow. Then i will re spray the uni-body.

What's your plan for protecting the paint on those bolts when you tighten them down?
