Stock Wheel Refinishing

[Brillo1990]

On my 1990 I have some streaks ect. that look like something ran down the wheels and screwed up the finish. Has anyone found an easy way to refinish their wheels? Will a good paint stripper take the clear coat off so I can reshoot them with automotive clearcoat? I really don't want to have them blasted because I would have to polish them again before coating them. Also will they stay shiny after reshooting them with clearcoat as long as they are clean when I when I reshoot them? I know from experience stripper did not touch the clearcoat on my fork tubes on my bikes which is why I'm asking. I don't want to waste the money on stripper if I need to have them blasted. Thanks guys I love the registry site, lots of info and helpful guys here!

If a total refinsih is not needed, sand the area with 400 grit then 800, spray with clear.....

I would have to look closer but I think it is under the clear coat. If it is on top then sanding it out and reclearing would work.

You can sand it down in just the area...post a pic. Take down the area that is bad, lightly sand the rest and reshoot it.

All 4 wheels have some bad spots on them and after looking again it looks like some of it is under the clearcoat. My camera is broke so I can't post a good picture right now. Maybe I need to go get a new camera anyway.
