I've got an 84 with the "Corona" alloy wheels. The clear coat wore off years and they look like crap. I had one bead blasted so far and cleaned off the face
surface with sandpaper. 3 more to go. When they are done I am getting these powder coated. Paint will not stick to these. Also you can't acid dip alloy wheels, it ruins them. Check around for a sandblasting shop if you don't have one. Bead blasting is better. I am paying $40 for sandblasting and $60 for powder coating by the time it's done. $100 is cheaper then new wheels.
My only dilemma is the color. Silver, chrome-look or gold.
Good Luck,
Ben
