Default Stripping the slipstreams

so i borrowed my old wheels back from the guy i sold them to and now i am stripping my slipstreams and i dont know if i want to leave them how they are when i get done stripping them or to powercoat them, post if you think i should leave them or put some color on them and which color to do....



this one is the furthest along. i like how the finish looks almost matt

the rest of them

use this stripper first then clean all the residue off with this

tasty right??





Opinions?????????

Me too. I wonder if there's a way to polish the aluminum and clear coat it.

Keep them raw finish with a clear coat.

I wonder how difficult it would be to just strip the lip of a factory finished slip and polish just it?

Of course w/o jacking up the rest of the paint?

You stole my idea! I would just strip off the paint and add a clear. Nice work stripping the paint, aircraft remover is sweet stuff.
