As thick as that looks, may take an 8 hour day to do so . Getting it chemically dipped is a fast and cheap process. Cost $40 a wheel for me.

Yes certainly. As stated above you'll never get all the sand out without removing them.


I'll paint mine or Hydro dip. Thanks

stripping only took about 25 min maybe? it only takes about 30sec for the stripper to start working. 3 min probably for it to eat up the paint

Drilling/tapping your baffles is no biggie at all if you have a press handy. Honestly took under an hour to do the whole thing. You just have to be precise.
