Paint stripper for wheel lacquer

[Se7enheaven]

In process of a bike project just now and wondering is it ok to use industrial strength paint stripper on wheel lacquer to remove it from Aluminium rims ?
Something like this :

Yes you can. It's not that strong though.

Wear gloves etc.

Ok thanks. It’s hard to get decent paint stripper these days

My advice for wheels is powder coating; far tougher than paint and you're letting someone else do all the dirty stuff.

My local place is only £40 per wheel and that includes doing tyres off and on again.

Rubin where is that please?

There's a place near me on the Wirral that does 17" wheels for the same price.

Thank you! My FZ6 has quite a few marks on the back wheel from my chain (the one that's part of the lock) and looking for a cheap tidy up prior to sale

Just make sure you give it a good look over when it's done.

Nice bloke, good service, would use again etc. but I've had some inconsistent finishes in the past from him where the sandblasting hadn't been finished, or sand hadn't been removed, before they powdercoated over the lot regardless.

That's on two seperate occasions, and as I said, I'd still use him again though.

That's pretty sloppy!

I've never had anything like that, otherwise I wouldn't be recommending them!
