Default Are slipstreams polished under the paint?

If I just put aircraft paint remover on rota slips will there be a shiny/polished finish under the paint? Like on HX wheels...

Yes they are polished under the paint. I've seen a few cars in the A/C forum with stripped rotas and they looked identical to silver Slips.

nah, its bare metal underneath the paint. but once you strip the paint, you can begin the polishing process (sanding, sanding, sanding)
