easy off oven cleaner is slow but it will work

iv used acid in the past but i also lost a finger tip doing it this way......lol

Hmm i dont want to looe a finger tip lol. i take it you just spray on the cleaner and let it sit then like steel wool it off?

how about like kemi-striper or something to that affect?

Man, I go out of my way to find gold wheels for older projects. I'm surprised someone wouldn't trade you for some plain wheels.

Based on EVANDS recent posts :D He WAS looking for a 350X rim. Some how he ended up with an 85/86 250R rim................

Oven Easy Off.... 4 times with steel wool or Scotch Bright Pad's ...
WHY Would You want THAT "OLD" UGLY Gold color? .. :D

[evand]

hmm are you painting the wheel? can it just be roughed up with sandpaper and painted?
i am obviously missing something here.

[evand]
