hey guys, i know this is a bit cheezy but, i've been doing my own detailing for my OEM whel, which i recently repainted the cover to it original color due to the fact it is all scratch up...but here's what bothers me, one of the cover, i actually over did it and wanted to know how to make it better...for example, the cover's paint was all gooie and the paint looks like its crack due to over painted lol...yea kinda amature mistake there, but the rest are pretty decent....but just want to know how to make that specific change to make it better....

Buy a can of brake cleaner and spray down the hubcap. Then whipe it quickly with some old rags. This will take off the paint. The paint will take months to cure so since its been recent it should just whipe off. Then you can easily repaint it. If you use a harsh cleaner like paint stripper it might damage the plastic hubcap a bit. Brake cleaner should be sufficient.
