What product did you use to strip the paint off? I did that to a set of rims once, and they turned out to be kind of a gun metal greyish color, and I couldnt polish them up shiny.

i used to use something called air craft coating remover, worked slick but very caustic, you coulda if you sanded them smooth. Polishing is essentially abrading it smooth
