So if i'm trying to restore my wheels to sell them, should i blast them and then clear coat the results, or prime and paint them silver with clear? Which is more desirable is what i'm after?

QUOTE(1fastredsc @ Jun 26 2008, 05:14 PM)  So if i'm trying to restore my wheels to sell them, should i blast them and then clear coat the results, or prime and paint them silver with clear? Which is more desirable is what i'm after? Are they already painted? If so are they Fuchs or American Racing? My recommendation is not to paint them. I would pay more for a poor factory finish than a painted "restored" fuch. Restoring fuchs is not really a DIY project. Polished Fuchs are popular. I believe it is time consuming to polish them but if they need to be refinished that would be my choice. There is a tutorial on doing this if you are interested. The factory finish is tough. It will take serious sanding or chemical etching to remove the annodization. This toughness of the factory finish makes painting to restore very undesirable IMHO. To actually answer your question: I would not blast them. If you really have to, I'd at most lightly polish the paddles and rim and paint the back ground with silver. Oh it hurt to type that. |
