I watched this video:

Seems paint stripper can get clearcoat off, but parts of my wheels are painted.



I really want to get the clearcoat off and re-spray, as it's turned quite milky where water has got under it. I had the wheels diamond cut, painted and clearcoated a few years ago but they're looking a bit tatty now.

Is there a way of getting clearcoat off without wrecking the paint underneath?

Actually, it's supposed to be lacquer. I've no idea if that's different to clear coat.

Does that make a difference?

I'd rather not fork out £300 to get the wheels done again.
