Bring Your Old Wheels Back To Life - Polished Sun Double Walls

We have restored and polished many car and motorcycle rims/mags over the years. The PSP wheel machines are now set up to polish or brush the sides of 20-29" rims. If you're restoring a bike or want the best braking surface, clean up for a season, we can help. Our equipment can handle your disassembled rims or your complete wheels with hubs/axles.

Professionally Trued And Show Polished In The USA

Our process restores worn looking sides due to brake rub. As soon as you ride wheels with anodized sides, they wear fast and look used. When we refinish wheels, the sides are machine ground flat and show polished or brushed for the best performance and looks.

1986 UKAI 20" BMX Rims - Restored

1986 wheelset was straight, but had a ding in each rim and rough sides. They were cleaned, dings removed, the sides were restored and show polished. They keep the orignal look - silver anodized centers and original decals with trued and polished sides. With a new set of chrome or stainless spokes, quite an improvement.

Araya 7X Syle Reproduction With 20" Show Polished Sides

As you can see in the photos, new rims are not always perfect. These Porkchop reproduction rims looked great in blue anodize. We chose to polish the sides for perforance and most importantly, looks. PSP offers brushed or polished finish on most used or new rims/hoops.

Customizing Your Paintball Hardware

Our customers know that detail makes the difference and PSP delivers. These aluminum paintball gun parts were originally anodized and very worn. We stripped and show polished them for a high end look. Please send us detailed information/photos for pricing.

Black Annodize Over Polished Aluminum

production aluminum

Mike Johnston of Johnston Competition knows metal and complete metal finishing processes. Before starting his own custom fabrication shop, Mike worked as an engineer for NASA - building and testing the most expensive custom vehicles on the planet - or should we say Universe? He takes that experience, and applies it to the cars he builds.

Show Black Anodizing

Over the last year, we have been working with Mike on one of his ultra-trick, totally hand fabricated Super Comp dragsters. When he dropped off the last batch of parts, we thought that the relatively simple rear wing components would be a great example of how to make anodized aluminum perfect. Since Mike has extensive metal finishing experience, he typically tells us exactly what he wants. For this particular project, he has requested that both sides of all 3 of the aluminum wing components be buffed to a mirror finish, "bright-dipped", then gloss black anodized. Typically, customers do not want the added expense of bright dipping after buffing. But, Mike swears (and we agree with him) that the additional step makes the black anodizing a little more vibrant. The photos of the wing struts are to show you how we buffed the parts prior to anodizing - you are going to have to wait for a shot of the completed assembly, installed on the car to fully appreciate the beauty of the finished parts. Photos of the finished car coming soon...
