Hello fellow Buick people! I am quite sure I am not alone on this one. I have the stock rims and I really like the way they look on my car. The problem is the black paint is peeling:mad: It looks terrible close up although most people see them spinning by quite fast;) Can you restore these yourself with a weekend in the garage:confused:
 
Do I have to peel the old stuff off or fill in the chips? I know they won't look mint but from about 5 feet I want it to look nice. Can you also just paint right over the chrome? Any primer?
 
Spray one some paint remover and scrap away. I did would reccomend having it power coated. I did mines with Krylon Lacquer paint prep it really good but only lasted a few years then it started to peal :( . I was very upset all that time in preping it and painting and it only lasted a few years.
