Decided to put my old burnt out/tired rims back into action with a little makeover.
Used this stuff to strip off the old clear coat of my polished Rota J-Mag wheels.

After the stripper did its job, taped up the rims.

After multiple screw ups with runs and uneven coats I finally started to see them change colours.
