Refinish wheels tips please
« on: January 03, 2021, 11:50:04 pm »
I’m going to put the 15” wheels from the GT on my 88. I want to paint them black with red accents. Any advice on stripping and painting them?

Below is an example of the type of wheel.

Also where does one get the center caps?
1988 Fiero Base 4cyl 5spd.
1986 Fiero GT ... Parting out. Let me know if you need something.

Thanks.
Have fun. It's... time consuming.
It was about this time of year when I did mine. Froze my a55 off.

With my shop almost ready I’ll be able to stay good and warm plus a bit high. 😂 Don’t worry I’m putting in a ventilator.

Aircraft stripper fumes are a thing. Seriously.
My wife heard the buzz all the way upstairs. :D
