Dark mags?
 
I'm not sure what to try with these. I think they are ultimately going to need to be resprayed or powder-coated. Powder-coating seems to be the best idea, and it's not all that expensive, is it? Are there any products anyone has used that would clean these up decently? I've tried EagleOne stuff, and some random Wal-Mart type stuff. Could polish do it? I'm stumped

I have allways been a big fan of never-dull polish. Its a tin filled with cotton wad sort of ****, Best **** I ever used to clean up wheels and other random stuff. It works like a champ.

Um...don't know any miracle-workers for clean up, but the powdercoating will prob be your cheapest way to go if you decide you wanna do something diff with them. The local shop around here that does powdercoating charges $50 a wheel, which I've heard isn't a bad price? Don't know about your local shops tho...

Wow, $50/wheel? My dad was talking to someone at a show the other weekend about powdercoating. He wouldn't give an estimate, but I assumed around $100 per wheel. If it was under $75, then hell yeah...powdercoating it is.

It would be cool to get them coated a dull grey or something. Although the body-matching brown does look really good.

Yeah...like I said IDK about your local shops, but ours said $50 per wheels and he has some really cool mirrored chrome finishes that look .
