Refinishing Super Tricks
jeez, supertricks are as rare as Hang-Ten Darts out here. Where are you guys finding all these? The etching acid cleaners (Eagle-One mag cleaner) will leave it sort of a lighter color, almost white. what if you unbolt them, bolt up the outer half to an axle that you can turn, (ice cream maker motor that is high torque, low speed) and run a grill brush over it slowly to put some nice radial scratches on it? I was tinkering with a wheel turner for same reason with an old set of pitted Centerlines. Take a skateboard with wheels the same width as your rim, bolt trucks at a distance far enough so that the rim sits on the wheels and can turn. cut a slot in the deck so you can run a dryer belt over the rim and down to an electric motor, hang motor on pivot so you can use weight of motor as adjuster
