Why did it take 6 hours to blast them? Should have flown threw that.

the original primer coat was epoxy based and a hell of a time to blast off using aluminum oxide. I didn’t want to go crazy with a too aggressive blasting medium either.

I originally took 1 wheel to a sandblaster to see if they had a good method of removing it… charged me $150 for one wheel, so i decided to do it myself.

I even tried using paint stripper before blasting:
