Brprs Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 First thing is I just bought a set of 04 BBS sti wheels. Im looking to strip the hod awful black spray paint. Should I strip chemically or strip using walnut- blasting? Pros and cons of both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljonson Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I stripped them chemically and it worked out pretty good. Just don't leave the chemicals on for too long. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brprs Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 What did you use? Aircraft stripper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljonson Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yup. Its crazy. Paint starts to bubble after 2-3 min Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massautowerks Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Aircraft grade paint stripper from any automotive store will work just fine, make sure you wear thick gloves when applying/scrapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brprs Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'd just hate to hurt the aluminum somehow. Hah, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljonson Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If u leave it on for too long you will mess junk up. It pitted my friends rims bad when he decided to chat with a chick instead of washing crap off Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
