What a science project!

Good morning C3 Corvette, wonderful video ! Thanks for posting. The Mother's polish is good stuff. I like the way your wheels turned out. Thanks again my friend. Also used the Jay Leno Tire/Wheel solution. Great stuff.

I use the same sanding pad on my letters. Works great!

Almost at 10K subscribers. I mask off my valve stems to eliminate paste around the stems. Great job!

I really enjoy your content. I have a set of aluminum slots with the center colored black. Do you know if the black paint on the center can be removed? I noticed in one of your videos that you also had a set of rims with the centers painted black

[@76vette]

Thank you! 😊👍🏻 The black centers are correct for 76-79 wheels, the polished centers are correct for 80-82 models. I guess you could use a paint stripper to remove the black paint. 😊👍🏻

And the 78 Pace Car has the polished centers as well! Thanks for all your great videos!

Do you know if these aluminum wheels were clear coated from the factory? I feel like I’m seeing some peeling on my 78 wheels.

[@76vette]

@@neighbormark I don’t think so. I’ve restored three or four sets of slotted rims (early to 81) and none had clear coating.

Thanks!

What is the grit level of sanding paper

[@76vette]

Try a 120 grit first, if you find it to be too aggressive, use a 240. The sponge pads are usually labeled as coarse, medium, and fine AFAIK. 😊👍🏻
