Removing black paint from wheels?

I want to get rid of the tatty black paint on my wheels. The full wheel is painted, what can I use to do it cheaply? Nitromose?

 

nitromors and/or various grades of wet and dry when i did my wheels on my saxo i had to use nitromors the course wet and dry then fine. Hope this helps mate.

 

Nitromose?


whats that?

 

Nitromorse, paint stripper, very very effective stuff.

 

i used nitromors on my bbs's and it wouldnt go through it the paint was to good.. so it left the wheel i had done all pitted and horrible.. so i got them all bead blasted for 10 a corner!! well worth it!! good luck

 

if it was painted with aerosols and not done very well you may be able to just rub it off with thinners?

 

shot blasted on something like bbs i reckon

 

I used nitromors on my wheels, it went straight through the paint, the primer and the lacquer that someone had painted over below it all!

It did require alot of nitromors though...and that stuff isn't the cheapest.


Could you just key the lot and then respray+lacquer them?

 

use nitrmors automotive

 

i would do as willg says - save lots of time and effort

 

i used nitromors for my bbs alloys.

i got a bucket big enough for a wheel to fit in and poured in about 1.5litres of the stuff. it works best when put on thick. did all 4 wheels in 3hours, all with tthe same batch of nitromors

 

I can help you get the black paint off! Ican replace them with a set of silver solitudes.

 

don't fancy selling me a single solitude do you?

 

Sorry fella, they're going to get semi slicks fitted very soon.

 

are mine solitudes?

 

no

 

will nitromorse kill my tyres?

 

I really wouldn't know, but I'd personally account for a new set of tyres, or have 'em taken off if they're any good.

 

on the back of my tin of nitromors it says "protect from damage: rubber"

so I'd either use it on the centres and hand sand/machine the edges+lip or take the tyres off if you're going to use that stuff.

 

I couldnt be sure but it melted a couple of grommets in the engine bay of the quattro.

and dont get it on knob!!! Instant hard on!!! for hours
