Hey gang...I bought a set of Rotas from a fellow i-Clubber.

Currently, they are spray painted flat black. He did this because he got tired of the original color, Gold.

I'm wondering if I can use some kind of thinner or chemical to get off the spray paint but leave on the original color which i believe he didn't sand off.

They're Rota SDRs so I think they powder coat...right?

What should I use?

I know if I am able to get the paint off I'll most likely have to clear coat the gold that is underneath as he most likely sanded it a little so the spray paint would hold.

A lot of times spray paint will break down with something like goof off or oops. Otherwise a mild paint thinner might do the trick.

Of course, I don't mean to say you just soak the wheel in the stuff...........put some on a rag and try it out carefully.

That's what I was thinking.

But, I wonder what won't take off the powder coat (I assume Rota uses powder coat) but will take off the spray paint.

^^^*****...you posted the same thing twice.

They are not powder coated...he told me just a day ago that they are spray paint.

The other rims that are on Thunder's car are the ones that he powder coated.
