| Hub Polish Job
I polished the hubs on my 82, They were looking a little rough. 3 stage process kit, one more stage to go. Happy with the results so far. Did most of it with an air powered drill. tmas    |

Please feel free to notify me when you have completed polishing the rear hub, as well, and I'll be sure to send you my hubs +$2.00 in trade, along with $1.25 for shipping...  Just to sweeten the deal, I'll even throw in an OEM Honda sticker...  Nice job, t, looks real good.... |

Great job tmas! You said that you used an air powered drill. If you have an air DA sander, you can sand them first to remove the deep pits and then do your 3 step polish to get the sanding scratches out. You'll end up with something like this... /dayj1   |

It was late August when I polished all my parts, but I think I finished both hubs, backing plates, and stator cover in a day (8-10 hours). Z parts are so small and odd-shaped that it takes time to get into all the curves and indentations. /dayj1 | |

tmas , make sure to put some good aluminum protector/polish on after or you'll end up with water spots all over them as soon as they get wet and dry.

Has anyone tried a clear powdercoat? I'm interested in doing this to my hubs but I don't want to rub on them much after I am finished.
