Hey guys sorry if this is the wrong section for this, but I was wondering if any of you have had experience with painting wheels or have any knowledge about it that you could share with me.
I recently talked to my motorcycle mechanic about painting the wheels and he really isn't a pro about painting or anything but he told me to use 400 grain sand paper to completely strip the current paint off the wheels and clean it really well with alcohol removing all grease, dirt, etc. from the wheel and then you should be pretty close to being ready to paint if not ready to paint. He wasn't sure of the type of paint to use and neither do I. Any suggestions for that?
I have a 2005 fz6 and I want to re paint the black (current) wheels with black just to give it a cleaner look due to the paint chipping/corroding if you will. I don't really think it's chipping but I just thought it was just really dirty but I scrubbed the rims for a good while and it still spears to have a "weak" spot of paint, for a lack of better words lol. (mainly on the back rim)
Anyway I plan to repaint them in a few weeks and just wanted to hear your guys advise/input.
Thanks!
