Best way to remove paint from wheels??
Well like 2 months ago, my friend and i decided to paint my wheels black. Well, the job was TERRIBLE!! Dirt stuck to them and i guess they werent fully dried and all the paint got mushed up and it got multiple layers in some parts. I need some tips in taking the paint off as fast as possible!
What grit sand paper?
Do i use paint thinner to get it out?

i would go find a heat adj. pressure washer....turn the heater on to like 220 degrees...in the meantime let some laquer thinner soak into the peeling paint....then spray away.
i would recommend taking youre tires off. then if the other paint is still salvagable that is if u havent sanded them yet...

take some 320 till you get all the black off! Then when you get back down to the silver, use 600.

oh yess the aircraft paint stripper, i did it on my black hood grille, just sprayed it on, let it soak in and the paint bubbled up, then just sprayed it off with a power washer, just be careful that stripper is no joke, I wouldn't get it anywhere but the rims
