Tired old wheel center refurb...
Recent posts with all the cool wheels gave me some incentive to wander out to the garage and take a peek under the cover. I couple of minutes later I made a call to AWS to have them picked up and refinish my turbo twists.
The painted wheel centers looked dull and I didn't want to put them on newly painted wheels and I'd figure I would take a crack at refurbishing them myself.
Big thanks to Stan for coming up with my matching fourth center.

- Cleaned them up with alcohol
- Masked the crest
- Roughed them up a bit with 3600 grit sand paper
- Sprayed them with clear enamel, 5 coats.
- Wet sanded starting with 4000 and worked my way to 12000 grit.
- Rejex
- Wa-la, good as new.
