Stock Wheel Refinish?
I have some stock alloy wheels that need refinishing,the clearcoat is gone and are badly oxidized. I was going to sand them and clearcoat them,anybody know if there is a certain kind of clearcoat that is made for alloys and is durable or any clearcoat would do?

I would sand blast them get a light color powder coated on them then a clear powder coat on them so they look stock but hold up better

You can do it at home but your mom/wife/ GF will get pissed when you throw a big ass rim in the oven and it drips everywhere...

You can get them done by a shop or here's an idea go yard selling/craigslisting and buy a cheap oven and you can do them yourself just a thought.
