about an hour and a half roughly. took 2 coats of stripper to take all the clear off. just cake it on, brushing in one direction. wait 15 minutes, hose if off and repeat to get all the clear off. then just get a cloth and mothers polish and clean them up.

i started doing this before i got deployed, but never got completly done! if you get a cheap plastic brush it will melt!!!!

i had to get some 1500 and 2000 grit sand paper, mine are pitted and such pretty bad, but the results are awesome! mine look way better, even as pitted up as they are! i reccomend this to anyone!

OP-rims look awesome!

I'm just going to have all of mine chromed. Taking the clear off takes too much work with regards to staying on top of it for the vehicle to be a daily driver.
