Finkle Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I was thinking about painting my factory wheels, but then i thought to myself "self, why dont you strip the paint off of those wheels and polish the aluminum under there?" Has anyone else tried this before? Here is a pic of my ride and wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Personally, I like the way that particular wheel looks in that color. I DID see a set of legos once polished (no centers) that I liked though. Might be photoshop time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I just thought it was clean aluminum... Do you want it to shine or just look metallic? Just bead blasting the paint off would leave a matte aluminum finish. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkle Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 They aren't as pretty as they appear in that pic. I took it to get an oil change at the Nissan dealership and they detailed it for free, but whatever they sprayed on my wheels left streaks in the powder coating. I'd like for them to look shiny, like polished aluminum wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
