Whats the best way to strip down already colored rims (Deep V's) to base metal and clear coating?
I want to avoid stracthing or pitting the metal and leave just a shiny finish, then clear coat.
One word,
Nitromors.
Put on some gloves and goggles!
then as follows:
Be very careful, apply small amounts with a paintbrush (the kind you paint a picture with)
The powder should bubble of in a minute, if it doesnt , DONT scrub it, just apply a little more.
When it all seem loose, scrape it all off with a credit card. And wash it down with some water.
Whenever I have stripped anything before in the past, I have found the metal to be damn shiny polished underneath, in which case it might be nice just to clear coat it.
But as they are rims, they will probably be a dull machined kinda finish!
