I'm wanting to clean up a set of alloy wheels that the clear delaminated and there is oxidation. I stripped them with Kleen Strip and that worked well. I will polish the faces and then begin coatings.
I want to coat the recessed areas with black SPI epoxy as an accent. They were originally dark grey. I am debating how to get a clear to adhere well to the polished faces though. I saw some posts about adhesion promoter but it was not conclusive (to me) of the best process for a lasting job. I have some familiarity with Sharkhide but not in an automotive application.
1. What would you recommend for the final coating and will a "plastic" adhesion promoter work well on these wheels?
2. What recommendations do you have - a flattened, satin or gloss - would be the better look on these wheels? All opinions are welcomed.
3. If I go with the Sharkhide - my second choice- will it adhere to the epoxy well?
I'm a new member who is practicing body and paint work to prepare for some real deal restorations down the road. This forum has been a great wealth of information that I am now getting to practice my application of.
Thanks for sharing!
