Removing spray paint off alloys

scottp68877 · 2014-04-05 14:50:54

Is there a way to return the alloys back to their original colur with damaging it. Can the spray paint be removed with thinners without damaging the alloys original colur? The spray paint job that was done on the alloys is a mess, flaking on the tires and the callipers aswell. Don't even think the wheels were taken off…

You could try thinners or white spirits first, but I suspect you may be going down the road of a professional refurb here.

Sandblast then repaint seems to be best option
