  • I wanna paint my salad shooters

    Any tips guys?
    Aircraft stripper I hear is best to remove the clearcoat from the stock rims right?

    I'm just gonna paint them black, and use em for winter rims.

      if there's any corrosion on those rims i'd sandblast them. aircraft stripper is great, but doesn't do anything for corrosion, so i wouldn't waste my money on the stripper IF you have corrosion.

            I dont have pics, but a friend of mine painted his black.........If you want to spend the time on it, it looks damn good if you leave the lip around the edge how it is, as well as the very middle of the center cap.
