Wheel paint?
My wheels are the silver painted ones and have a few places that could use a little touch up.
I've never done that...
Is there a special paint?
and how hard is it?
Thanks

I have a can of that waiting for better weather. Some of my factory clearcoat is starting to come off. I'm planning on cleaning up the wheels in the spring and re-applying it.

If they're getting milky under the original clear, you'll have to have them polished and re-sealed. I don't know of any other way to do it. Simply re-applying clear over them won't increase the clarity. The good news is that polishing your style is alot more cost-effective than mine

You may be able to get away with a chemical stripper. You just want to make sure you don't get it on the rubber or valve stem, and that it doesn't react with the aluminum. I've never done this before, but I know some people have.
