Z Rim hub paint removal?
meticulous:
I just presumed they were ACS hubs, if they are its paint, if not its more likely ano'... :coolsmiley:

surely if it was paint on the ACS Z hub,it would have came off with nitromors,i even tried dot 4 brake fluid earlier and still no luck.
Hi all,well i tried dot 4 on the hubs no joy,i take it that the z rims hubs were powdercoated,so whats the best stuff to use to remove powdercoat?
I will have to try something on the rim to see if i can bring it into more a new light,as they look a little tired so what to use on the rim,there the mike buff so they are the off white color.....any idea's on these subjects.

Get some pics are mate.
If they are mix buff rims u don't want to clean too much as they were originally off white.
Also we can see if the hubs have been powdered or annodised. :)
Got a weird feeling they may have even been plastic coated ???

hey childhoodream look at that link there an scroll down thats the exact hub,it would remind of looking a plastic type of coating if so how do i remove that,god my hands will be aching after doing this last hub lol the joys,might be easier just to put other hubs in them,,,tell me is it easy to rebuild the rims,and 48h araya rims too never did it before,and theres only 1 video on youtube on how to do it.
cheers
