wheel paint removal

[sprinters_r_mad]

ok...........I got these ma61's from AJPS, and they're sick as and I'm super happy with them except for one thing............they're charcoal. I'm just wondering if someone can tell me how to strip the paint from the wheel

I searched and this is all I came up with http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forum/index...97&hl=bling (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=17097&hl=bling) which I plan on using once the paint has been stripped off

if anyone needs a pic then here it is.

Paint stripper and a good rough brush?

Paint striper. Buy a can from Repco. Some brands of brake cleaner and carb cleaner will get it off also, since it is cheap paint.

Don't forget to use some clear-coat on it when you've stripped it!

paint stripper and a brush is your friend, the septone stuff that supercheap has is good, I've used it a couple of times, just watch out for the smell it f***ing stinks when it's eating away the paint

johnny rochester is on the money again... carby/brake cleaner and an old rag will strip/get rid of that paint

carby cleaner is cheap too and you wont have to worry about scratching your rims using a brush

I believe its not Charcoal, the proper official toyota/AJPS colour code is "$6 merringtons rattle can black" as seen on such high performance cars as
Porsche
Ferrari
Lamborghini
T-18's

AJPS only rolls with the finest quality goods:

Anchor or Autospray.

$4.50 or less.

Wow...impressive result :2thumbs:

Would have thought paint stripper would have stained the alloy. Personaly Ive always had my wheels acid dipped then highly polished usually costs about $100 a wheel.
Will try this next time
