I'm starting to polish my Style 5 wheels and would like to coat them with a clear coat or maybe a clear powder coat. I have an extra wheel so I'm going to do some test areas with different sanding grit to see how the clear coat covers but don't know how to prep for clear powder coat. I can call a shop but thought I'd ask here first. All I know for sure is I don't want to polish my wheels every six months.
When I restore plastic headlight lenses I sand with 1000 grit to a consistent "fog" across the lens then clear coat and it turns crystal clear. Not sure if that's the case with aluminum.
