My 86 Euro 500 SE had peeling alloy MB 15 hole chrome rims. I checked around and found shops that would remove the chrome and either polish them or paint them but prices were a bit steep . Haveing the time I sanded the chrome off with a die grinder. a big heavy 9 inch welding grinder and my porter cable orbit disk sander.

Its a hole lot of work .I then shot them with several coats of primer followed by silver grey base coat clear coat. They are holding up well and I like them much better than in chrome.......
