Vail Colorado Ski Trip. This Little Piggy Photos. Z - The Rim Refinishing Project. Over the years, oxidation ate through the clearcoat on the rims. Fortunately, the gold paint in the fins was still good. I decided to very carefully refinish the rims by hand. I won't go into the procedure, because it is outlined here. This is what started the whole process. My word of advice, slow down a tad for bad railroad crossings, or this can happen! Here are a few more misc. pics I took during the whole process.

Vail Colorado Ski Trip. This Little Piggy Photos. The only furniture Liza and I found that we liked was naked, whoo-hoo! The amount of money they wanted to factory stain it is exactly how much we need to buy a new washer and dryer, so guess what, we're staining it ourselves. Here's the process in a nutshell : Sand everything, give it two coats of stain, 3 coats of sealer, and that's it. Thanks to Liza and Liza's family, its turning out great. More photos to come along the way.
