Blue faded Ukai speedline rim ...
« on: October 11, 2012, 08:51 PM »
I have here a Ukai speedline rear wheel, whose blue color is blurred or faded .  :'(

What is the good way to get the color back.  

Or should it be sprayed again with blue paint  ;)







And i know. I have to clean it first...  :coolsmiley:

You can't.  Once anodizing fades then that's it. If you paint it you will lose the definition of the etched 'speed' line.  I would prob leave it survivor or oven cleaner to bleach off the rest of the colour so its raw ally finish
