alloy wheels - clean em up? - powder coat?


Recommended Posts

The 98 lob limited has the alloy wheels.  Before I bought it it had sat in a field for a few years sunk in the mud up to the axles.

The wheels are horribly corroded, gold coating flaking off and electrolysis pitting all over. Generally icky looking. This car is the child units and I'm not buying new wheels, painting seems like a bad idea. The home DIY powder coating products look good but never tried one. Seems like a guy could get an old range from goodwill for the cooking......

 

Anyone try it?

Holy crap! Plasti-dip! Never thought of it. After watching a few YouTube videos though it looks like that will work really well.

Sense the wheels are the two tone gold/silver limited ones it will take a little more work. But great idea!
