If the paint is peeling off u are better stripping the whole paint off, sand anyways.. find a primer for aluminum surfaces, have no idea if upol does it, dont remember it does. Paint and clear.

Yes if you screw up u can take the paint off with paint remover. Or if it doesnt look as bad u can sand imperfections and paint over it (retouch).




Well, the paint chips are due to mostly being smash around alot. Theres a 2inch chip on the side of the rim.

So...

1st- sand
2nd- clean it off
3rd- add primer ( how many coats )
4th - add paint ( how many coats)
5th- add clear ( how many coats)
