This is my first project this winter when the snow starts to fly. In looking at the rear wheel one side (exhaust side) is finished smooth and the other side is rough cast. AB-Oz's wheels look great, that is the look which I am going to attempt to duplicate, I like the contrast of the polished and the black, has anybody tried to polish the wheels with out using the paint stripper? I have seen where you use a polishing wheel with a high grit polishing compound to remove the paint. I would like to polish only the smooth areas of the wheels and leave the black paint on the rough cast areas, rather than removing all of the paint then repainting the ares that I want black. I am concerned about the paint stripper seeping under masking tape and damaging the factory applied paint.
