Default Power coated rims

I just bought an s2000 with power coated rims. I was just wondering if anyone ever had this done and around how much it cost. I called the shop and they coudn't really give me an exact price not even an estimate. Thanks.

My buddy, charges me and my homeboys 10/rim. He powder coats stuff for us at work during his lunch and pretty much just charges us for material and enough to get a tank of gas. I've heard some people paying $40-50/rim though. Its alot better than painting, if done right, the rim will bend before the power coat will chip off.

Aircraft remover or lacquer thinner and a scrub brush will take it off.

Aircraft stripper will probably take that stuff right off.
