IM NEW TO THIS AND HAVE BEEN VISITING THIS SITE FOR A YEAR NOW THIS SITE IS COOL I HAVE LEARNED ALOT, FROM ALL MEMBERS WHO POST PROBLEMS AND ANSWERS. THANK YOU!
I HAVE A QUESTION DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE COATED WHEEL WHICH HAVE BEEN CNC’D WITH LINES UNDERNEATH CLEARCOAT OR POWDERCOAT. MOSTLY USED BY MERCEDESsandpaper
If they are corroded they have to be CNC’d. There are wheel resto services nationwide. If not corroded, strip the clear, polish flawlessly and reclear. If the virgin, freshly machined appearance is not restored, they will not look like new.
You can try the service of a blasting company that uses “baking soda blasting” for about $25.00 per wheel, that what it cost in my area, it is good stuff, it will leave the wheel like new, then u can finish it.
Media blasting will produce a dull finish, not a machined appearance which is what the wheels were when new.
I agree, is dull but not grainy, it will give u the same result as sanding, then u can spray finish it. if ur looking for polished finish ur right Scott.
