I have a set of fuchs that I picked up on the Samba a while back, and I eventually need to get them cleaned up and looking pretty. Is there a way to tell if they are black anodized or painted? Were all black fuchs annodized? I need to know , so I know how to strip them down to the aluminum.

Also on a related topic, powercoating is OK for wheels , right? Or is it easier/cheaper/better to go with black wheel paint. the desired outcome is black centers with pollished rims.

TIA for the help!

Here's a wheel i just finished. Eastwood wheel paint (satin black) for the centers and Krylon semi-flat for the cap.A little difference between the two, more gloss w/ the krylon semi flat.
