OK the factory clear is peeling off my Si rims and theres a little (remarkably little) rash from the last ten years and I can't stand looking at them like that. I know I have to sand the beJezus out of them regardless so the question is do I polish and clear them or paint them and then clear them? I know how to do the work, I just want a general concensus on which way to go in the form of public opinion.
If I polish them I'll have to worry about them yellowing and its less to protect them in Chicagos winters. I like the look but its SOO labor intensive and I'll probably end up re-doing them at least once a year.
Painting is easier and will protect better but what'll go with a red SI and not look dumb? I like the graphite color and I'm thinking of leaving the lip polished (maybe not) but I'm not sure if it'll look to dark.
White will stand out really well but I"m worried it might look like a "Radio Flyer" wagon because the car is red.
If you say OTHER please give me a color and if anyone has pics of painted Si's or can photoshop color options on a red Si I'll appreciate the hell out of it.
