Can Aluminum Wheels Be Painted?
Hey guys, I have a 99 Bville with the standard five stars. They're clearcoated aluminum, I was wondering if aluminum itself can be painted because I thought it would be cool to leave the lip aluminum and paint the rest of the rim black. I think that would look wicked with a silver car.

HALF of the ppl in the Regal club do that? Good Lord, ALL owners of Regals here are old geezers, let alone painted rims. There'* a club for Regals? Interesting. Expoy wheel paint you say? Hmm, will check on that.
Oh a quick question, how do I get the clearcoat off, do I sandblast it or just sand continuously? I tried to use the techinfo and it keeps giving me totally unrelated results.
And has anyone done this before?
Thanks for all your help

HEY! I take offense to that I miss my 2000 Regal GSE. I got it when I was 19. I was looking into painting the rims on it (As I was on the site when the first guy decided to do it) but I didn't have the car long enough. The site is regalgs.org by the way, and there are a lot of young guns there just like here.
