I have some tatty looking hand painted (with a big paint brush) light weight Mag wheels here that need a bit of a touch up. What is best to clean the old crap off with, Im not too fussed about the overall fin when done, probably reuse a 6"paint brush again If I sand them down smooth and use alloy wheel cleaner on the dirty insides, what is recommended to prime and paint them with??

they for a bmx,...??

then if theyre mag wheels, they should be plastic, so alloy wheel cleaner aint gonna do much good,...


best way would be to get them light bead blasted,...like sand blasting, but not harmful to plastic,...


got a dragonfly dfx frame, and my lil bro is doing paint and body at college,....was doing plumbing, but doesnt like it,....anyway,...he can get my frame done for a fiver....sweet

DOH, should have said, light weight Magnesium alloy rally car wheels for my cosworth. Silly me. Anything I shouldnt use? and likely to damage the metal?

I'd of though nitro mors would be ok, get some etching primer when you re-spray. Use the etching primer as your first coat (couple of very light coats) then prime and top coat as normal.

nitromors may damage the mag alloy compound
