I have to get the Black paint off my new to me '13 black C14 wheels...... hate black wheels on my bikes
Are you looking for a specific color, or just bare edges? I had silver wheels, bought black wheels and used aircraft stripper to clean them up as seen. I spent about $20 on stripper/gloves/tape/rags and this really needs to be done with the wheels off of the bike. Sandblasting will not leave the bright OEM finish that is under the paint, and they can't make the sharp defined line along the edge.
I spent $20 on a stripper once...gloves and tape,too?
A touch of Mothers aluminum polish once per year is all it takes.
Exactly right, once or twice a year. If you're really annal & want them to look like mirrors just do them every few months.
ZRX and Justcliff...what color tape did you use...blue? what brand tape....??
