Guys,
just a quick question... it seems the RHs I'm building currently came with a mismatched set of bolts, some were stainless steel and others were just chrome plated steel. However, someone painted them once when they were mounted to the wheels. I had just anticipated stainless bolts which I could polish... so this throws a wrench into my plans. Also, the second set of RH wheels I have sitting around seems to have only chrome plated steel bolts.
Since there are quite a bit more chrome steel bolts than stainless ones, I'd like to re-use these and replace with the stainless ones with new matching chrome plated ones.
Can I just scrape off the paint with a wire wheel? Will this hurt the chrome or is this fine to do? Would chemically stripping them of the paint hurt the chrome?
