I bought a front rim that was chrome dipped and flaking. I have peeled off a good amount of it but cannot get the remainder off. Should I put the grinder to it or primer it and paint it. It's a track rim only and used Solely for that purpose. Recommendations?
Do it right. Get it stripped. You never know what damage is underneath. There is a reason it's flaking. -jim
Sandblasting chrome is total pain in the ass. It does not come off easily and it's very hard to know when you're through the chrome. I would send them to a plater and have the process reversed. That's what my powdercoat guy does when I bring him chrome pieces.
I deal with this all the time. You need to have it stripped at a chrome shop. If you try to blast it, you will remove aluminum while you are trying to remove the chrome. Your wheel will end up wavy looking. They charge $30.00 a wheel around here.
