Well learn something new every day!
I got a couple sets of wheels that could use a $35 refresh!
Thanks for sharing.
Fwiw, to openspaces post, I tried plastidip on my sled trailer wheels.
While I don't use the trailer too often, it does sit out in the wet weather all year. 3 or 4 years now, wheels still look decent. Same thing, pressure washed them, knocked off some flakes with a wire brush, taped off the tires and sprayed. Way nicer looking than half chrome half rust.
The trailer was an experiment. Did the wheels and frame up front at the tongue with plastidip. Surprisingly has held up pretty well, but I wouldn't consider it better than painting by any means.
