So I just got these old Wide 5's back from being blasted. They are steel and were chromed. I had all the rust removed, as well as much of the chrome, but some remains as I want them to have a kind of unfinished look.
My question is what is the best way to remove the rest of the remaining media bits and prep them to be clear-coated and/or painted? I didn't know if I should just hose them off.....but putting water on them doesn't sound like the best idea. Any thoughts? ....and, yes, I know these are cheap, heavy wheels, but I'm kinda just dick'n around at this stage. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks!     |
