use the aircraft stripper and the paint/clearcoat should dissolve to the point where you can spray it off with water. Follow the directions on the can.

go ahead and use the how-to, just give proper credit

I like clear and amber lenses too, in this case I think his car would look very stealthy/clean/nice/etc with smoked lenses, due to the fact that its black and it would match the car with dark wheels & tint.

Does anyone know how bare metal looks like on powder coated rims?
I have Rota Formels and the spokes are powdercoated silver.
I like to take them off and give it the polished metal look.
