370Z nismo Wheels, stripping off prev owner paint

GZ3 · 06-23-2015, 09:38 AM

I picked up some nismo 370Z wheels in amazing condition for a steal! Only problem is the previous owner painted them gunmetal and its pealing and cracking off at some places. How can i remove the paint without damaging the original finish underneath? thanks

maybe someone will chime in with a method/product i am not aware of, but i find it highly unlikely that you will be able to get the paint off without damaging the underneath. pretty sure any chemical that strips paint will at the least soften/discolor/mess up the powder coat underneath.
