I sanded my outriggers down

[slickohio]

what do you guys think?

they used to be denim.

Anyone know why its harder to sand the frames than the riggers?

 

[slickohio]

another pic.

also what would the outcome be if i were to sand down glossy riggers?

 

[HamFaceGirl]

looks nice

 

[loveyoursneakers]

Looks good, what grade of sand paper did you use?

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

kewl.

plastic is different, the print must be deeper than on the outriger.

 

[loveyoursneakers]

Why don't you sand down the whole frame that blue woul look dope.

 

[[Julien]]

Do this man It would be sick

 

[slickohio]

im planning on it. it just takes way longer on the frames for some reason.

i used like 150 grid but ill go over it with 300 or 400 to get it nice and smooth.

 

[Chris.S]

that's so sick that you did that!! my denim riggers are worn down but they're just plain white underneath, how did you get yours to come out baby blue?

 

[slickohio]

just sanded haha.

That Makes Denims Look Good

 

[scottie617]

cant u pant it after its been sanded out

 

[slickohio]

i know right?

yeah you can paint it but i dont think im going to.

 

[B-runge]

sand those denim spots off

itl look better

and did you paint either of them or was it just like that underneath?

 

[slickohio]

i will its just a work in progress.

but no thats just how they were underneath.

 

[B-runge]

thats sick^

looks great

 

[slickohio]

thanks man.

anyone want to trade the denim strap shown for a blue retro i add cash?

 

[camski26]

looks pretty sick.

 

[slickohio]

awesome.

 

[Aaaron.]

dooooooope

 

[CTD]

leave it patchy, it looks really sick like that.

 

[slickohio]

im debating on leaving it patchy for the burly well worn look or just sanding the whole frame.

 

[Aaaron.]

leave it a little patchy. makes it look unique.

 

[B-runge]

why does ur lens say record on it?

 

[mmallender.]

he either traded for a lens from a custom setup, or he bought a custom setup from the oakley site. i am pretty sure you can get custom printing on the lens from the oakley site. or it could be some shop edition or something, thats my guess though.

 

[T_h_o_m_a_s]

Yer if you go on the Oakley site for a little extra you can get your name printed on your custom setup.

 

[saucey]

im pretty sure the reason that the frame is more difficult is because its O matter, rather than plastic

 

[LAME.]

Try sanding the band!

 

[slickohio]

...

but i got the lens from someone on here so he must have got it custom from oakley or something.

 

[slickohio]

that must be it.

 

[Gooseling]

has anyone tried this with any other frames/riggers?

 

[Werd-JP]

Keep sanding it till its clean blue, it will look better

 

[slickohio]

?

 

[C.Wood]

that looks so sick man

if i had denim i would be doing that

 

[Aaaron.]

don't

 

[J-Neal]

that looks sick, I may try it

 

[JordanClarke]

those look real sick! better than the original i think...

 

[Gooseling]

well obviously its fucking denim

 

[slickohio]

EXACTLY. i knew they would look better no matter what.

 

[poots]

clear coat that shit and give it a nice shine and protect it. looks good

 

[newengland72]

The matte of the frame really makes the fire lens pop!!

 

[Kevski]

That looks really good! I think my denim parts are white underneath... I might have to try sanding a spot to see.

 

[slickohio]

in my opinion white is still better then denim but thats me. You could make it to look like a denim to white fade with the right sanding.

 

[Kevski]

Yeah I really might do this. Thanks for being the guinea pig! And after if it doesn't look too good it would be prime for dyeing. The sandpaper would roughen up the parts a little and the dye would really get in there.

 

[slickohio]

exactly!

its a winwin

 

[slickohio]

i just bleached my denim strap and brown retro. they turned out amazing. ill get pics soon.

 

[Kevski]

Sounds sick. So would they be light blue and light tan brown now? Or white?

 

[ski-swagga]

no sand the lens!!
