    Default Removing paint and full polish to alloy wheels, can it be done?

    Is it possible to strip the paint off alloy wheels, and then polish them up for a different look, they are ROH reflex, the paint is the original silver from the wheel factory?

    Err... I think they powercoat wheels so its hard wearing which makes it hard to remove...you could try some paint stripper...if that fails bead blast them.

    But anyone who advertises wheel polishing should be able to do the job.

    You can buy a polishing kit from ebay for like $30 but it would be hard work aye, Prolly get it done for less than $100 a wheel by a pro.
