I was all set to order a Plasti-Dip kit online when I discovered that Rust-Oleum (and a few others) also sold wheel paint. My local Lowes (Known around here as "Blowes") had some so I bought that instead and started yesterday morning.
Years of putting cheap brakes on my truck resulted in an almost impenetrable layer of dust deposited on my factory chrome wheels. I started with a coat of "Aircraft Remover" stripper and a green scrub pad to get all the brake dust off. I tell ya what, doing all 4 wheels was labor intensive!
Plastic center cap too:
Since I had the wheels off I put new brake pads on the front, ceramic ones this time!
