SS IV's

Just a question about my SS IV's. When I get my car out of winter storage next month I want to paint my SS IV's. Just asking how to prep them (sand blasting, paint remover etc)? Any help would be great thanks. Matt

SSIV wheels are polycast - meaning they are cast polyurethane. DO NOT sandblast - this will destroy them. You MAY be able to soda blast, but test an inconspicuous spot first (and be sure it's a spot on the polycast part and not the steel part). Paint stripper is the same - test that it does not dissolve the urethane.
