They were painted last year by maaco, All the paint has been chipping off and they look like crap. I used paint stripper on them and it has eaten through the black paint and factory finish as well. I just don't have the time to finish them as it is a long long process. So i figured the fastest way to have them done is sand blasting them, the prices just seem outrageous. I could spend $100.00 less and buy brand new wheels.Also the cheapest price i received for doing all the prep work and powder coating was $135.00 a wheel before taxes. It would cost me $610.20 for everything complete so like i said i can buy new wheels for $500.00.
Maybe go a different route - use a soy based gel type paint remover and just get it down to bare metal and see what you have.
