I plan on painting the centers of my Fuchs wheels (a silver color) but want to leave the complete "outside rim" the clean but dull aluminum that comes from wet sanding. I'll be removing the anodizing with oven cleaner then wet sanding. Anyhow, I believe the bare aluminum would oxidize if left unprotected or unsealed. I don't want a glossy finish on that area so will just any matte/flat clear coat (rattle can) paint work? Or am I wrong about the oxidization and just be able to clean them occasionaly with Mother's bare metal cleaner? What would you do? TIA!
