Removing rim lacquer?
Discussion
I’ve a set of Shimano RS81 wheels which I quite look, but the lacquer (if that’s the correct term?) is peeling away from from the rim and looking a bit tatty:
As the aluminium underneath looks quite nice, I was wondering if I could remove the knackered coating, and just polish up the ali underneath a bit. It does peel away a bit if picked at, but doing both wheels that way would seem more than tedious.
Any suggestions on something I could use to try and strip this off more easily? If so, would it be a terrible idea for some reason that’s not occurred?
