thanks guys... it took alot of time since the weather in seattle is freakin cold and wet. i used the aircraft stripper; then used 400 grit sand paper to sand it out evenly. i used dupli color caliper paint kit; dupli color gunmetal paint and clear coat. i'm happy with the results. you guys should do it too if you want to keep it real; repair or have no money for new rims(like me lol).

Aircraft stripper wouldn't get the clearcoat out of the surface rim, but it does wonders on the holes. The best thing to do is to sand them down nicely. I painted them silver, rather then gunmetal. Gunmetal looks like of dirty. My o2 cent.
