Alright I've been slacking but have been working so here goes I'll try to keep it relative as possible as I did with my descriptions from the beginning.
1. I was upset with the lack of prevention from paint crack as seen on the hub and roughness from the sanding on the spokes of the wheel and most definitely the backside so I started with just some general purpose 60 Grit Sand paper which went fast but did it's job in exactly 4 sheets which seems like a lot but with all the nooks and crannies it isn't too bad. here's a couple shots of the roughing. I've got about 22 hours into it at this point of the re-process of the wheel with the stripping of the coats of paint.
