I picked up a set of powdercoated smoothie 2s... The clear coat/powdercoating needs to be stripped badly. How much would this cost to get done?
Thanks

You will want to get them soda blasted not sandblasted you can pit the wheel that way there is a place in boerne called blast from the past look them up.

You DO NOT want to have them sandblasted. It'll be cheaper and safer to get them chemically stripped.

I agree with the above, sandblasting is the quick and dirty way of doing it, but you will not get the final results you are looking for.

IMO, you will probably spend less money buying a new set, than having them stripped and then re-poweder coated.

Good luck either way.

this is what u do..... get aircraft paint stripper froman auto parts store, then get a power washer, and wala!!! just got done stripping my zr1s

dude aircraft stripper is hardcore. i used that to strip off paint on my lts and it worked awesome. but get some chemical resistant gloves. it dissolves rubber gloves like nothing. i vote chemical over media blasting.

aircraft stripper worked on mine but i had to do it like 3-4 times to get it all the way done. the silver and clearcoat came off real easy, but there was like a base coat or something that was a son of a bitch to come off. just get a pressure washer and spray it off. the stripper burns no big deal, got it all over my legs, feet, and hands but not that bad

Can aircraft stripper be bought at an auto parts store? I went to lowes yesterday to buy some, but they didnt have it. So I didnt know where to go..
