kino1161 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have a wheel (lip) that needs to be re-clearcoated. Can anyone tell me where I can get this done? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 How bad is it? Corrosion? chipped? scratched? peeling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the clearcoat has peeled off. It hasn't come off on the inner wheel (3 piece wheel), it is just the lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I do that myself? If you know how I can, Turbo, let me know. I am willing to "save a buck". :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGS300 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 First go buy some Meguiars Paint cleaner aka step1 and see if that will help to remove just the clearcoat. Then when you get it how you want it, clean the surface with grease and oil remover, you should also do this before the meguiars. buy some decent clearcoat in a can and spray on light coats until you get what you're looking for. I'd also check with some local paint shops for estimates as it may be cheap enough to let them do it. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when the clearcoat has come off a wheel it looks like dried up water on your wheel that will not come off. So with that, I can do what you stated above? Let me know. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the lip of 2 of my wheels looks as if the clear coat has come off. The wheel lip is polished. It looks like "dried water" marks all around the lip that will not wipe off. What can I do?
