On Pelican there is an old thread about using Scotchbrite to refinish fuchs. Since Rick bought the pink car, I don't have anything to do in the garage for a little while so I dug up a 15x7 Fuchs project.
I started by using paint stripper to remove a tired old home refinish someone else did. Next was oven cleaner. Then 100 grit to get all the last of the anodizing off. Then 400 wet sanded. Now Scotchbrite, actually Norton brand from HD. I think the first pad was 0, last pad was 000 with some Wenol polish. Then I carefully masked with some pinstripe tape which makes a nice edge. Sprayed the inserts with some self etching primer followed by textured silver paint similar to Ford or GM Argent wheel color. Paint stripper  Oven cleaner  Raw  After Scotchbrite  After paint  |
