Re-doing wheels___again!
I'm another one___'97 Sport with the wheel upgrade, polished alum.,
clearcoated. After 5 years on the beach everyday they look like "hell".
Not only is the CC peeling off, the metal is corroding fiercely. (I'm
experienced in the effect of salt air on bare alum.) I'm told there is a
Clear Coat remover that does "pretty well" but entails more work and time
that I want to expend on an "iffy" result. Any suggestions appreciated!!
Also where is this "Wheel Paint Kit" available?
Thanks___CHJ

Re: Re-doing wheels___again!
Paint is paint (to a point). The preparation is critical with clear only
wheels due to the clarity of the pretreatment.
The OEM process is to Clean/ Chrome sealer/ powder coating with either
acrylic or polyester clear/ Bake.
There are companies that will remachine and powder coat. There is one in
Huntington Indian but the name escapes me but all the wheel parts companies
send there wheels there.....
