Ok ... I need the final "truth" when it comes to the process and material(s) to be used to refurbish and re-coat (paint?) racing wheels. I have four (4) full sets of Jongbloed #215 wheels which this past weekend I removed the centers (all 288 nut, bolts and washers ) from the rims – This weekend I will be stripping off paint, using " ______________________________" [aircraft stripper, paint remover ? ] and then getting them "blasted" by " ____________________" (please insert soda, or plastic, walnuts or other media [ I know NOT sand or glass]). Then to crack testing at a NDT* Service- When done do I "buzz bomb" them with " ____________________________" (Home Depot, Eastwood stuff?) - spray gun with " ___________________" (epoxy, PPG something ?) and then do you clear coat for ease of maintenance , with " _____________________" (paint, etc.) I have searched the forum and again the consensus seems to be NO POWER COATING. Afterwards, re assemble with new Allens and metal locking nut (w/ Loc-Tite ?). Use and seal with Dow Corning Silicone Adhesives/Sealant 832 ([a] on the flat bolting surface AND on the crease AFTER the wheel is assembled OR [b] just on the crease aftre assembled -- Hardware: the wheels have these what appears special Allen headed bolts that are tapered and are wider at the bottom (a source ?). How about one clear thread with experienced comments ?
