im gonna try this on my LS meshs. im tired of the paint on them. would rather ride some clean polished rims. good thread!

Rollin_Eg 04-13-2008 07:21 AM

Dam great job on those rims man...:thumbup: Might try this on my snowflakes..

Daddy_Digital 04-27-2008 04:21 PM

u can buy it at auto zone or walmart. make sure you buy some plastic gloves that are kinda thick, like dish washing gloves. that shit will burn the hell out of ur skin

Daddy_Digital 04-27-2008 04:30 PM

im doing this right now. i think there should be some additions to the list u need. GLOVES are a must. the aircraft paint remover will burn ur skin very bad. a paint brush to apply the remover helps alot. a wire brush helps get the tough paint spots come off. steel wool also helps scrape paint off. masking tape hhelps keep the index cards on the wheel. the wind kicked up and blew them away. im doing my LS meshes and its not as easy as the fat fives that were used in the example. it is definetly taking longer to get the paint off

or you can use chrome polish even on painted color rims makes it come out super smooth no gloves needed just apply and wipe off enamel reducer works good to just what ever you do dont ever use amonia based products on your car and or wheels it will oxadise your paint just some tips for you guys

done deal homie.

bryantiscool 08-08-2008 01:45 AM

aircraft is the brand.

i used the mag and aluminum polish when i polished my cousin's ls meshies.
turned out great.
just use a drill attachment or some shit
cause doing it by hand is a pain in the ass.
