Hey guys
I bought a 83 in pretty good shape, The rims however are a bit oxidized, and have pretty much no shine left. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this, and if they could recommend products, or methods that have worked.

Thanks a buch guys

 

what i actually did was i sanded them down pretty well, with a piece of sos for like cleaning pans, and then i used my sand blaster to clean them up
then i gave them a whipe
then i sprayed them with hammertone silver paint and did like 3 coats and now they look quite nice

 

Mine were to when i bought mine i took the wheels off of the car and used a big polishing disk on my air compressor tool.
Worked great, they look good as new

 

I used air craft paint remover to removed the clear coat and paint..but beed blasting would be nicer..than sand and polish..

Can you guys show pics?

 

i just thought of this..... would brake clean work on rims? that stuff absolutely eats everything, would it hurt the rims?

 

what kind of clear coat would need to be used on them after they have been polished/painted? i would guess that regular clear coats are not heavy enough. am i right?

 

Glisten PC is THE clearcoat.

 

I dont liek to use clear coat on aluminum...I liek to polish them again if I have to ..
