Ya it is alot of work. But can be fun with the nice outcome.. well its costing me 580! Sounds like alot but that's with brand new polished 3" lips stripping and Polishing the faces and the rings polished and the wheels siliconed and re assembled! And mount and balancing the tires. I know how to do everything but i dont really have the time and the equipment , and it was gonna still cost around 550.. so i took them to vr wheels. I get hooked up there

the kit i got is supposed to cut down the time. theres no sanding involved, just compounds. 550 isnt that bad considering powdercoat is usually 250-350 a set

yes. dont get the aerosol tho. in all i spent 40 on the wrong paintstripper before i went out and bought a gallon of aircraft stripper for the same amount.

i figured the way to get the best results is sand the surface a little then add the stripper in a few thick coats, then scrape it off. Or you can let it sit a little longer than suggested and use a power washer
