Polished and Painted My Last Wheel..PICS
Finally, it's all over with!!! I'm kind of mad, cause this wheel turned out so much better than the others. But here's some pics, not sure if I'll be able to get any on the car since it might be raining the whole weekend.

Looks good. 
Take some with them all on the car and maybe a comparison picture. 
There's no such thing as RS IROC's. RS's got the 82-87 Z28 rims. Only IROC-Z's got IROC rims.

Yes, you have the 82-87 Z28 rims. They have nothing to do with IROC rims.

Mark that looks great!
I'm having the same problem.
That stuff just doesn't do anything to my wheels! What kind of paint is this stuff anyway?

Just used some Glossy Black Enamel Spray Paint.
The aircraft stripper won't work miracles, but it will help eat away some the clearcoat.
