Its been years, but I had good luck with Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish, elbow grease, and some decent quality rattlecan satin black. Probably Krylon.
It should be obvious to give them a good clean first and tape off the parts you don't want to get paint on.
Cheap, lightweight, no dismounting required.
Rustoleum makes a "hammered" finish combination primer/spray paint. Masking off, etching with muratic acid, priming and painting with the hammered finish produced great results. Easy to repaint and hide the chipped spots too.
I found it at my local Ace hardware store.

Beware of the solubility of a lot of Rustoleum finishes in almost any solvent. I found that to be an issue when cleaning with anything more aggressive than wax or water-based cleaners.Originally Posted by DanW

Completely agree. Here in the Nanny State of Peoples Republik of Kalifornia the state regulates aerosol paint ingredients. I clean my wheels with water based cleaners and use Mother's aluminum polish on the exposed aluminum.
Have a great race season, Dave!

If you were speaking of tear down, clean, inspect, replace bolts, reseal, repaint, there is an extensive thread in the archives. If I can find it I will post a link. I think it was started by EJ Generotti.Need Ideas and On "How To" and what to use.

Talent usually ends up in front, but fun goes from the front of the grid all the way to the back.
