Just bought a car with nice wheels on, the only problem is they've been painted with spray cans. Is there a way of stripping the spray paint off without damaging them, and can it be done with the tyres still on?

I've gone and bought the stuff then just seen this today??

After stripping the paint using the nitromors what kind of condition will it leave the wheels in?

What should I then do with them? Do I need to sand them and then spray them with lacquer? Which sandpaper should I be using?
