[s-cars] re-coating wheels

[Chris Davis]

Jim,

I just redid a set of polished a8 wheels because they were doing the same
thing. The clear coat had gone to hell and they needed some attention. The
best way to strip the old off is some "Klean strip" brand paint/or aircraft
stripper. I'm not trying to sell you that product but I tried some others
and they did not work as well (ace hardwares brand worked good too).it's
easy to use and what it doesn't get you can hit with a wire wheel and it'll
flake off. If there's some residual just hit it again and let it sit. The
wheel coating was not meant to come off and is a real pain.

As far as coating them. If they are winter wheels hit them with some good
primer and have fun with them. My winter car(subaru) is getting some
white/safety green wheels tomorrow.
