Here's what I did Posted by DivrDon [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: I hate to be repetitive- wheel refinishing, Saana88 ![]() ![]() |
I found some paint remover for aluminum in my local Murray's. Airplane stuff. Used this to strip the clear coat. The Silvervanes have grey powder coated spokes. Some of mine were blemished were the clearcoat had worn so I decided to paint rather than just re-clearcoat. I used a Mother's power ball and my dremel with aluminun wheel polish from Mother's for the lip. Mother's polish a fine rubbing/polishing compond. This polished the lip to a mirror finish. Then I masked off the lip and used a grey spray paint from Kilz called Hammerite for the spokes. Its a hammered finish. The color is not a perfect match but close. The texture from the powdercoat help. I was going to clear coat the final finish, but ran out of time. The hammerite calls for either a 1 hour or 10-day cure before a recoat. So I just waxed. Just paint the inside after degreasing.
