god aweful looking painted aluminum wheels help
 

ok, so other than kleen strip or aircraft paint remover and a ton of elbow grease, does anyone have suggestions for removing paint from aluminum wheels? theyre enkei sportlines and look great on my fc project minus the fact that im not a fan of the paint job or color. I want to do a smoke or gunmetal gray once old paint has been removed. who has suggestions? yes, I will be removing tires to do this job. any help or suggestions greaty appreciated.

look up TAL Strip.
It is for aluminum and works REAL quickly.

tal strip industrial strength or aircraft?

I don't think it would matter But I used the aircraft stuff.
I found it at NAPA..
You apply it and it literally turns the paint to "old lady skin"..then you can wipe it off!
