nitromors will waste it .

it pity's the paint off.

jetwash it after.

wet and dry, or scouring pads,then your choice of cutting copound/finishing polish

easy.

I used spray on paint stripper on some yellow painted black tuff II's. The paint stained the yellow but. Sand blasting them works very well. I ended up dyeing them anyway.

So you reckon paint stripper is ok? doesnt harm the wheel?

give it a try
it shouldnt munch plastic though

it doesnt eat through the plastic nitromors lid, or the sheet of polythene i stripped a frame on the other week.

Painted it with inspector, smoked a tab, then got a brillo and rubbed the painty gunge crap off, swift scrub with cillit bang and your away.
