Nice work. Its a change for sure

 

nice work, looks great man

 

that looks sweet.

I did mine a while back and love the look. its not hard just time consuming

 

wow 4 hrs isnt too bad at all... i spent like 5 hours polishing my heel gaurds this weekend, then again most of that time was spent knocking off the anodizing since the aircraft stripper i tried did NOTHING, what did you use to get the paint off?

 

I tryed stripping my heal guards with aircraft stripper too. i left if on for over an hour and it didnt even faze the coating. they still look bran new.

 

ok so at least im not the only one that had trouble with them lol [sm=dontgetit.gif]... the only thing that i was thinking to explain is that maybe the heel gaurds have a different paint or anodizing on there since there constantly getting rubbed by shoes and the right one getting blasted with exhaust heat. I gave up on the stripper after the 3rd time i tried leaving it on for a half hour. So i resorted to 180 grit paper, which took 3 hours each to get it off [:@]

 

Not bad!! Looks good.

I have about 8hrs in mine with dissasembly, taping, retaping (dont ask), reassembly.

My heel gaurds took about 20minutes each to get the coating off of them. Use a DA Sander and 800grit. Then start using a lighter cutting paper. Polish and wa la.thats about the end of the easy stuff. All the brackets are a differant story. Had to sand all the texture out. That sucked.
