Why are you stripping it? Planning to paint it another color?

alsey_seven · Post by **alsey_seven** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 9:43 am

ya maybe just want to take off the old paint it has 4 layer of paint. after i clean them i will see if its better to switch to a different color. or not

Looking good!

so umm might end up repainting the rims too much blackish stains on the rims. so after i strip as much paint of the rims what color should i repaint or just get black glossy coat on them?

or should i keep on working and take all the old paint off?

Silver looks way better. I never really liked the black to be honest.

alsey_seven · Post by **alsey_seven** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:24 pm

should i touch them up with silver when I'm completely finished with the stripping

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:27 pm

Maybe try aircraft stripper, that stuff is supposed to melt paint right off. Don't know if it will hurt the original finish though.

alsey_seven · Post by **alsey_seven** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:47 pm

ya i should have bought aircraft stripper its cost about $40.00 i will buy this friday. I made the mistake and bought some cheap shit at walmart. which did help but aircraft stripper i hear is the best stuff out there... ow well still have the other side to do

btw ran out of the cheap stripper and this is what i've been able to do

yes i lost a nut.....

Yes she does looks so much better with original silver

ummmmmm other side has to wait until next week

I say after the aircraft stripper you should get a polish/buffing compound and buff them..that might help bring the "shine" back after the paint...worked on a friends rims..

lol i know that but i have never seen those rims and they look like srt-4 rims

They should look like SRT-4 wheels, because they are the ones they used on the prototype. They are TSW VX1
