My DA rims look horrible!! they have break dust and corrosion all over them, and the clear is also coming off in a lot of places. What is the best way to fix this? my friend has a sand blaster but im not sure if that would do anything. Please let me know what is the best/fastest way to get the polished look. thanks

 

If you want them to look "polished", you're going to have to polish them with progressively finer grits after you remove the finish.

 

i think you can justt use some aircraft stripper and then just respray them.

 

yeah I was wondering if Aircraft stripper would work good to take the clear coat and everything else off. Do you know were I could pick up a can of that stuff? and is it ok to put on the rims with the tires still on? thanks guys

Most places do. Auto stores/ Wal-mart style stores usually do.

I personally wouldn't spray the stripper on while the tires are still on the wheels. If it eats away a clear coat/any paint, I would think it'd eat away the rubber too.

yeah, mask the tires off. take them off the car

 

if you use the aircraft stripper you would still have to sand them fine in order for the paint to look nice. theres a thread on TI that has wheel works

 

alright I'm gonna look into the aircraft stripper and then fine sand it.
