Default Restoring vert rims?
I've got 2 verts that I'm thinking about doing work on the lips. Mesh is fine on all of them, but the lips are all in some degree of wear. One has the clear coat flaking off and other have simply gotten tarnished. I've never done work like this before so I have questions.

Do the tires have to come off the rims to do the work? I had assumed yes, but was on a Carmara site where a guy did what looked like a good job with tires on the rims.

Is it possible to only do work on the lips and leave the mesh untouched? That seems unlikely, but would be ideal. Can I strip the clear coat off the lip and leave the paint and clear coat on the mesh? I'm assuming if I'm stripping clear coat off the lip that I'll have to strip the whole rim, repaint the mesh, polish the lip and clear coat the whole rim.
