Which is the best method in your opinion to remove rust and clean original painted rims without damage to paint and pin striping? Just figured I'd ask before I tackle these babies. Thanks. Chris
Can you use Oaxalic acid on the painted rims? That is what I use on my chrome. I have a shallow tray that just submerges a small section of the rim and not the spokes.

The long and short of it is, it depends on the paint. Many paints respond reasonably well to it, but some take a stain or degrade. If there is rust under the paint, the acid will pull up both the rust and the paint, leaving bare metal. The best advice is to watch the bath carefully and check the parts for paint degradation or staining every few minutes, at least when starting out.
Where do you guys buy your Oaxalic acid? Or where is the best place to get it? because I am having a hard time finding it around here.
Not at : Home Depot, Wal mart, or Co-Op.
Thanks, JKent

Ace Hardware doesn't carry wood bleach around here. Everywhere I go they said they stopped carrying it. Don't know why.
That is what I have been trying to find and when they said no I asked about the oxalic acid and it was the same thing.
Thanks for the heads up on EBAY. I'll just go that route.
