Reply to "The Cost of wheels?"

Hi, I had some very bad experience refinishing Campagnolo magnesium wheels. When restoring my 1973 Alfa GTV I decided to sandblast and clear coat the wheels. At first they looked perfect, then, after a week there was some sort of magnesium reaction that started going on; like dark "marble" stains coming out; few months down the road they got really ugly, basically destroyed...
This is just based on my experience, but I would stay away from stripping off all the paint; rather just send the old paint to good, smooth finish and then repaint over...maybe not as perfect but way safer.
