XTS Rim Job
 
Well over a month of weekends later.... I am 98 percent finished of turning my painted XTS rims to chrome!

It all began on day I noticed the paint was easily coming off with just my finger nail. So said to myself "self" would it not be nice to have all my rims become bright shiney chrome.

Well not so fast..... There is a lot of work, patients and care to accomplish this yourself.

Come to discover there is more than one layer to be removed! It takes way more than just your fingernail!

I ended up using a product called Aircraft Remover and a lot of experimenting to find an easier easier way but there is not.

Please be advised you may not want to attempt this at home.
