#37887, "I wanna paint my rims, how to fix clear coat?"




          

Hey,
I have the QTalloys S-10's in 18", they are silver with a polished lip...anyway, the front ones have a few scratches and the clear coat is peeled off in some spots. I was wondering how I could fix the clear coat, and I want to spray them gunmatel and leave the outer lip silver. Do I sand them down with a steelwool pad or regualr fine grit sandpaper? Thanks for the help.

the best thing to do would be to have them sandblasted. Then you can take them in to you paint shop and have them repainted and cleared
