lets just "hypothetically" say that i found a set of pm wheels real cheap. but they are powder coated 2 different colors. how easy is it to remove the powder coating without screwing up the wheels. would i have to re-polish them. |

you'll be bead blasting the coating off from them. and yes, re polishing as well. There isn't a clean and easy to remove it |

Don't blast 'em. Send them to the powdercoater, and they can 'cook' the powdercoat off. It would be easier, IMHO to re-polish. |

its going to be costly, i use 'gasket remover' its some nasty shit though, removes powder coat pretty damn well... but u need a bio-hazard suit to use it! IT burns when it hits your skin! |

You need to tell me where this deal is so I can see these wheels. And the buy them before you using some magic money I don't have. |

i have used aircraft stripper before to strip powder coating. but it is also some really nasty stuff to work with. but it will eat it right off. |
