Got a couple sets of wheels that I just can't even powder coat until I strip them down to bare metal.
First set are 15" wheels with about 4 layers of powder coating on them. I tried aircraft stripper and that doesn't even get past the first MIL, got a torch and that's doing nothing but moving the powder around, melting and dripping here and then, but only getting stronger the more I bake it.
Then I got a set of 18" wheels from an Evo X. There's a clear, paint, and some sort of base. I can blast off the clear and paint within a few seconds for a tiny area, but the primer is not coming off very well. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help! I am really struggling with these and the local blaster is quoting me 50-75 a wheel or maybe even more! I can't afford to lose money on jobs like this, and going this route would mean just that.
