Removing rattle can paint from rims?

Decided to switch vehicles with my son and I'm now driving his Tacoma. He rattle canned the stock rims with black paint that is now chipping a little.

I'd like to remove the paint, but don't want to deal with removing the tires. Would paint thinner, a rag, and some elbow grease do the trick with the wheels mounted. Or is it going to be a pain?

 

its going to be a pain. any chemical that will remove the paint, will also likely damage the stock clear and graphite finish underneath. your best bet would be to sand them down properly and re-paint them, or go get them powdercoated

 

Stock steel wheels, so nothing to worry about stripping. I don't think...

 

Run of the mill rattle can paint is a 1K paint which means it's not a catylized paint and should wipe off with a rag and laquer thinner.

 

well if you're not worried about stripping, hit it with some acetone or laquer thinner and wipe it right off
