My alloys, the OEM Carat style, are begining to pit and lose their
clear coat.  Has anyone attemted to refinish alloys before?  I'd like to
do this myself, I had a quote of $100 per wheel to resurface and repaint
them, which is too much.  I was thinking about removing the rest of the
clear coat and repainting them.  Problem is I don't know what to remove
the clear coat with or what type of paint it durable enough for wheels.
Any ideas?  BTW I want to keep a stock color, so I'd assume it's natural
alluminum with clear coat, or are they painted silver?
