Refreshing My 25Years Old Mj-Alloy-Rims

[500kalle]

I didn't want to take them to The junkyard, so I spent a Little Time in!

 

Took Off the Old clearcoat, grinded and painted them:

I'm not usually one for painted rims, but damn that's sexy!

But they're Not ready yet, I ordered some New Centercaps at Ebay.com and they will become red Strip-Lines and clearcoat on!!

They look great!

How did you grind them? With a wire brush?

[500kalle]

THANKS!!

I grinded by hand using wet-sandpaper granulation 320!!

Lasted nearly 2 hours incl cleaning and degreasing!!

But First I stained the old clearcoat with GRAFFITTI-REMOVER !!!

We had some pretty serious graffiti remover at work, came in a spray bottle. Didn't really say much about it on the bottle, but when you sprayed it, it was like walking through a cloud of acetone... we had to stop using it because it dissolved plastics and melted paint off. Sounds appropriate for your purpose!

[500kalle]

That Sounds good!!

I also used a Spray bottle, sprayed The REMOVER to The rims and After 15minutes I was able to wipe away all The Old Paint with water and a brush!
