	ratta, i've got a set of these that need stripping back. I won't be polishing them though as I'm doing them for a mate who wants them sprayed bronze to go on his VW Camper. Will your bevel disc set do the job of prepping them ready for painting?

Could have spent more time and got perfection, but not worth imo as they are for daily cars used in winter. And my O.Z done by hand, what paint did you use to paint the red centres? was it by hand or spraying?

	Had some quite good results using 1: Scotchbrite mop things which go on the drill, this goes from rough corroded aluminium to a sort of smooth satin look. 2:Sisal mop on bench grinder with suitable hard wax stuff (i think it might be called soap) 3: Fine cotton mop on bench grinder with Autosol. 4: Hand finish with Meguires Bench grinder makes your arms ache! Maybe I need some of these bevel discs?

	Hi Ratta, I need to do 2 sets of 12 inch minilights, do you think its possible? I was thinking I'll try doing them all including the 8 spokes on each wheel. How much would they cost and would you post to Malta?
