Re: Can greaseless do the job? Pleasehelp
CASBEN,
Before I went to any expense or got involved in a very laborious task. I would turn the wheel over and find a few spots that have "pits" and see if the pits will sand out. Use what ever grit paper you have to see if the pits will sand out. Try not to gouge it when you sand the pits. If the pits won't sand out on the back of the wheel, chances are that you will have the same luck on the front side. If thats the case then have it media blasted and powder coated. There's no reason to waste time and money on something you won't be happy with!
I have polished aluminum pieces with a lot of pits in them, and from afar they look nice. BUT close up they look like "Do Do", especially rims.
A good powder coating will come "close" to the look of polished aluminum. You should be able to find pictures of powder coated rims on this site.
