General Refinishing Procedures Removal
- Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels.
- Remove the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire.
- Remove excess grease, etc. from the wheels with wax and grease remover.
- Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the clearcoat.
- Clean and mask and paint the wheels.
NOTE:
MASK OFF ALL MOUNTING SURFACES, whenever a wheel is refinished. The mounting surface and the wheel nut contact surfaces must not be painted or clear coated. Coating these surfaces could affect the wheel nut torque.
