I agree with ya John; but that product has work twice to three times for me and I beleive it is as strong and the old plastic casing on the wheels; I stand corrected on the type of paint its not rusteloum but Krylon Fusion.
I'm no expert, and only passing on by my experience..............

Question

How about just a light sanding to rough up the surface. I would not sand blast or use chemicals on plastic. Maybe walnut shells?

I used plastic bead at low pressure, but I would think a real thorough scuffing with a scotchbrite pad would do ya. You have to be real careful if you media blast it because the rubbery material will erode away easily. It seems to me that the 4 spokes are sort of rubbery, whereas the 3 spokes are more like a hard plastic. Either way, when using media blasters, its easy to do more harm than good.
