@@EweJinTee thanks for the response. Do you sand after the first coat? If yes, how many grits sand paper do u use? I just done applying the oil stain. Need to buy the clear coat tomorrow. Haha
Hey. I used Minwax Wood finish natural and then polyurethane to seal it off. You can get it here: Minwax polyurethane: amzn.to/3RQYM8p Minwax Wood finish: amzn.to/3M4FH13
Excellent job, congratulations! How would you recommend me to restore the black line? I just got one old Nardi but it has one piece of that line missing.
Hi! Thanks! What I've seen people do was before you apply any wood finish, be sure to use paint marker or oil paint to sort of 'touch-up' the lines. Then once it's dried, go over it with a wood finish and seal it off. That should work great in my opinion. Good luck!
came here because I'm trying to restore my old OBA wheel that's in my e30. cheers.
This was such a helpful, calming, and satisfying vid. Thank you!
Great job, do you use minwax clear coat after applying the wood stain?
Thanks! Yes I did. A few coats, I think 3 or so.

@@k24fd2r Yes sand from rough grit to smooth. Completely up to you but I think i sand until 800 or 1000 grit. tthen apply few layers of clear coat
Thanks brother! I just done mine. Keep it up!
a heat gun and a scraper is the best way to remove laquer and varnish.
What type of "varnish" did you use over the stain. The wheel looks to have a high gloss which is more than you usually get from stain alone. Thanks.

@@EweJinTee So you applied by hand with a cloth? Also did you use high gloss or satin finish? Thanks.
@@scuderiazane4723 Yes I did. Just wipe it and let it dry over time. The polyurethane finish is the glossy and dries completely.
how does it hold up after a year?

I have I think the same wheel how do I get rid of just small scratches?
Sanding them with 1500 grit sand paper. He showed that
It didn't lose its shape
Nope shape still maintained
Why didn't you polish the aluminum after sanding it. It would have looked even better 👍
Tried rubbing it with Autosol. Doesn't change the look drastically. So I just leave it haha
