Question about 2007 Spec B - Plasti Diped Rims

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a 2007 Spec B, which when I received it, the rims were very thinly plasti dipped, so I used goo-off and a pressure washer and it seemingly came off with ease. Little did I know that there now is a permanent residue and remaining what looks like over spray or residual plastic dip on the rims. I've used goo off, and at-least 5 other clear coat safe wheel cleaners and a polish to no avail. Include in this post are pictures of the residue & streaks. I'm not sure if the rims were pitted prior to the plasti dip. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

How attached are you to those rims ?

 

My buddies body shop does a great job on refinishing rims, I'm sure most any body shop could do the same.

I called a Wheel Shop that specializes in wheel repair and re painting/powder coating. They said that prior to the plasti dip they were painted with Hyper Silver and that is what is the cause of the streaks. In order to have them re-finished they would sand them down, powder coat them black then apply Hyper Silver coats depending on what type of finish I wanted.
