Default got some rims that are painted and wanted to strip it down

got some rims that are painted over with and manage to scratch some of and underneath is stock paint.

So any suggestion for a easier way as its easy to chip of a bit and wasnt primered or sanded down when they painted it

Cheers

cos want stock colour back with out respraying it

sand blast them, or acid etch them.

either way- cheaper to probably find other wheels.

If they were originally 2 pack and were painted in acrylic you could try a high pressure water washer, it worked on some painted dash parts on a car I bought.

A basic one is $99 odd - I couldn't imagine anyone else doing 4 rims for less.
