Someone Paint strippered my wheels [UPDATED]

Featured Replies

Well today I was looking at my spare wheel in the shed and thought "fuck it" It was alright, but had a few spots of milky laquer as with all TT comps.

So I doused it in nitromors then spent a few hours on it.

Here's the results.

I suggest we do your whole G40. With both of our obsessive compulsive disorder's, we can polish anything to a mirror finish!

Basically, use nitromors to remove ALL paint and laquer. then depending on how bad the finish is, work down the grades with paper, getting to like 2000. Then polish it up to a mirror.

Also helps if you've been drinking tbh.

them rims are naturally polished chrome from factory and then laquerd over, then through time it goes frosty and dull so if you nitromorse the faces so its bare polished metal, give it some love with autosol and VERY fine sandpaper they will come up like that.

you ARE gonna do them all too dude, its a must!!!
