General Refinishing Procedures Removal

  1. Remove the wheels from the vehicle. The tires may remain mounted on the wheels.
  2. Remove the balance weights and mark their locations on the tire.
  3. Remove excess grease, etc. from the wheels with wax and grease remover.
  4. Have the wheels plastic media blasted to remove the clearcoat.
  5. 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.

  6. Clean and mask and paint the wheels.
