Anyone? | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Try checking with Eastwood or Resto-Motive, they both have kits for refinishing aluminum wheels. I think they include a stipper to remove the old
clear coat .

If you wet sand the rusted area with 1200-1500 grit first it will save you a lot of polishing. | | |
