so today i was gna paint my rims and got paint remover.
one major problem it wont remove all the paint off the rim.
been working at it all day. keep in mind these are aftermarket gunmetal rims
need to know wats the best paint remover.
i tried klean-strip aircraft remover and a paint remover from home depot.
its getting some of it but very slowly.
any suggestions?????

 

Your best bet is to take it to a paint shop or sandblasting shop and have it stripped. The wheel finishes are usually pretty tough to get off (unless it is the cheaply painted stock cobalt wheels).

 

yea thats not really an option lol
u need money to have that done

 

i never suggested to remove all the old paint, you need to get acetone and some sandpaper, their is not an easy way around this, some good ol' elbow grease and good sandpaper is what you will need

 

never said u did man i decided too
yea thats wat i figured thanks

 

Yeah, only other way is the sand it down. It may take a while.... lol

 

Maybe Laqor thinner?????

 

Sandpaper.... /thread

 

I sandblasted the rims whenever I paint a set. It is nice having one at the shop to use for free.

Acitone and some low grit sand paper might work as well.

 

yea i got it sanded down real well
gna puts lots of coats of primer on lol

 

good luck. post some pics when you can.

 

yea will do i just put the last coat of primer on and now ill put on two or 3 coats of black then 2 clear coats and let it sit overnight

 

be careful with the clear coat, use a clear coat that is not an engine clear coat, for some reason engine clear coat paint makes it cloudy, use like a krylon or duplicolor clear coat
