Refinishing my rims

I'm resoring my 91 RS, and i have aquired some 92 Z28 25th anni. rims. I'm going to try to refinish these rims. I have stripped the old clear and silver paint with aircraft stripper, now i'm going to use duplicolor's wheel paint and clear to make em like new again. if anyone has any advice please let me know. thanks!!

Yep.

Check this out:

Redoing your wheels

I've seen similar links to pages where gents have redone their IROC wheels. It's just that I'm a Poncho type person. You are on the right track with the aircraft stripper. Sounds like no one needs to tell you that preparation makes the most difference.

Additionally, I recently completed my GTA's. My log of the process.
