I need to strip the paint off some rims, and then I'm going to polish them. The polishing part I can do myself, but it's a pain to try and strip the paint myself.

I just need a good method, whatever it may be, to get this done.

 

Oh ok, then you are right using that term.

 

Try this link there are some around the south bay.

 

Hi Albert,

Avoid sand blasting if you plan on polishing. Polishing a grit blast finish will be a nightmare X 10. You will be polishing endlessly to get a good finish.

I suggest trying an industrial strength paint stripper and scouring pad first. After polishing you could get a chrome or nickle flash to keep the finish fresher longer.

 

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I was starting to lean more towards a strong paint stripper. I heard that Bix is pretty good. We'll see.
