Any local places that do chemical stripping and polishing of wheels? (In my case wheel centers). I have a place in AZ that’ll do them for $300 (for 4), but they are a bit slow on the turn around so I’d prefer to use someone local. ---

Post pics of wheel centers. It cost me about $50 in materials to Strip/polish 4 wheels. ---

Yeah, I polished one myself already. It’s such a pain in the ass removing the old powdercoat and polishing them though that I dont WANT to do it. That’s why I’m looking for a professional. ---

This one of things, send it to the guys who do it daily or know what they are doing. I have done some of my Own stuff, along with a couple fuel tanks. It alot of work and can be tricky. Im not even aware of a place local that does it. Send them out, spend the money and get it done right the first time. ---

Oh, yeah, no doubt about getting it done right. But if there was a local place that does this professionally I’d be more than willing to stay local. I’m not cheaping out on $3k wheels lol. ---

someplace like fabweld can probably give you a good local recommendation. ---

I ended up shipping my stuff to California as anyone local wanted an absurd amount of money to get what I needed done. Ended up being cheaper and I was extremely happy with the result.
