  1. Scanned as Axalta 950852 Metallic Gray. At least my 2001 Celsior rims did. Looked to be the same colour. My SC430 rims are painted already, so couldn't scan them.
  2. No previous experience! Googled to find some options. Couldn't find anything specific to removing clear coat, but did read that acetone and isopropyl alcohol would soften clear coat. Experimented. The acetone was too aggressive. (Removed a little chrome on my test (hardly visible). Not sure exactly how long I soaked them, but maybe start with 5 minutes. I had hoped to clear coat them. Concerned about getting it to stick to the chrome. Seems that even with an adhesion promoter, could be a problem. Might be worth a gamble. Would probably go with satin. Related, does anybody know the paint code for the original wheel colour? Not real happy with the Duplicolor silver. Looks a little too silver for me. Maybe I will run them like this for the summer. Then figure out a permanent solution during the winter, when they are off the car .
  3. Signed up, just to reply to this question. (Not too often I have answers!). I just did this weekend. A 10 minute soak in 70% propyl alcohol and the clear coat was soft enough to scrap off with a credit card. Cheers from Canada!
